hi.

are there any updates here on the GT28R bolt-on issue ?

thanks alot !!!

Still awaiting a reply from ATP to be honest Pistole

This is what I found with them, they seem to lose interest after a while...

Well if they're willing to kiss goodbye to what could be well over $10k of orders......

hmm..

Coupe is legal again so I'm not in a big a hurry as I thought lol (MoT and Tax at the weekend - she sailed through )

Thats pretty good then Kelly, guess she was quite warm when she was tested then Mine was completely gone when i took her for her MOT the other year as she needed a new core as well so must have been fccuked

Had no email back from ATP as yet still But i echo Jayells sentiments about them if they wish to take that kinda road as i am trying to source some adapters from elsewhere and if i can then ill provide info to each person who is interested in the turbo and the list of bits they will need for each one bar the adapter and then we can keep their income to as low a price as possible. and may see about other bits from a UK supplier as well by buying them in bulk...

KP - Yea, she was a tad warm when tested (lol). But everything else was fine

Thanks again for trying to sort this out!

No probs Peeps Im getting a bit frustrated myself at the minute(no change there!) so want to get it moving and if they are just being idle then i guess we should maybe try and find another US source maybe for similar prices??

Maybe time to rope SimonJ into it and see if there is a company he can give me info for another company.

Will,
I have news.........

Ok people.

So far we can now get the kit from the states bar the adapter flange and source a UK flange for £50 posted to your house. This is a bit of a mish mash but i can safely say the flange will be equal if not better than the ATP one and for £50 its less than half of what TD want and to your door as well. This could come down if we get more than 10 people after them, and i may buy a few for overseas people to make life easier if people want to go for this option ill post up the part list you need for each turbo and what we are doing re the flange?? Please let me know ASAP.
I wont be online at all tomorrow by the looks of it due to a long day ahead on the road starting at 5am so cant guarantee any response tomorrow but i need interest posted up asap!!

with the bits included in the kit will the turbo fit the standard downpipe?

Iain

With the adapter flange yes

Im not holding out much more hope for ATP to get back to me and am myself if i can source an adapter in the next week or two ordering anyway and trailing this method myself with a guide as to show what goes on and what is needed as to give a concise as it is list for everyone as i can

Is this any good?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Garrett-GT28R-Turb...1QQcmdZViewItem

Or this?

UK GT28R £575

Keep up the good work KP

That seems a good price doesnt it?

Will it fit the coop?

not with out all the adaptor flanges that KP list earlier in the the thread, the adaptors from Turbo Dynamics cost over £300, so your really still talking £875

Iain

But it's the said adaptor flange that KP has sourced for £50.
Apex are well renowned in their field (200sx's), it might be worth talking to them.

Yeah but the price is still higher... If you guys want ill see if they will do us a discount for say 5 orders??

Will, without having trawled through all the info in this thread...

Are you organising a group buy? What's the cost and what turbos are available?

cheers

Also just to note it doesnt say its a Garrett and i cant find a listing for a GT28RS either but im trying to work on a UK source for things Please be pateient. I know this has taken its time but i cant physically do anymore with the time i have free at the minute

Right, I've decided that running a 2-stroke 20VT (1 litre of oil every time I fill the petrol tank ) is not the way forward, so this morning have ordered :

GRT-TBO-002 Garrett GT2560R (aka GT28R)
ATP-FLA-012 Aluminum - Inlet Flange GT25/28/28RS
ATP-FLA-011 Aluminum - GT28R/GT25R/T25 Compressor Outlet Adapter
ATP-FLA-010 Aluminum - Oil Drain Flange (GT/T25)
ATP-FTG-015 Fitting, 45 deg, 1/2" NPT male to 5/8" single slip on barb

.....and will report back on the ease of fitting, etc. I'll need to get a downpipe made to suit the outlet flange but that was on the cards anyway.

One thing that never really seemed to get answered is - is the wastegate actuator that comes with the turbo going to be OK ? I've heard mixed answers and am still not clear.

edit - apologies if dropping out of the Group Buy causes any problems, but ATP seem to be in slow motion re. the Buy, and my car needs sorting

You should be fine on both turbos to be honest
And dont worry Jayell i share your frustration with them

and respectively

I'll let you know when it arrives

Cool stuff At the minute im trying to source adapters and the oil feed pipes cheaper to help everyone out

Ummmmmmmm, what feed pipes ?

Can the garage who fits the turbo make up the oil feed pipes, if i need them ?

congratulations Jayell for the kit!! take some pics; i m waiting for your report.

its the oil feed pipe for the turbo.. I think you can try and reuse the standard one but i think its worth the effort while your replacing things down there anyway i think the part listing from ATP is on the list a few pages back...

I must have read this thread about 50 times, and not seen that - you couldn't dig out a reference for me, please ?

In fact as I seem to be in a bit of a stingy mood at the moment, can you put me down for one of the downpipe adaptors so I won't have to get a new downpipe made up ? How long will it be before these are available ?
