just a quick question can you change parts from the gt28rs to make it a gt3076r? or would i have to buy the whole new turbo?

New turbo because the turbine side is also different size. RS is 53.8mm the GT30s are 56.5 or 60mm. So you would need to change everything. (you have PM)

Sell the GT28RS and buy a 3076R instead.They aint that dear to buy and you will get a few quid for the 28RS aswell.

Also, as a side note, you may want to check how much room you have in front of the radiator and fan as it's quite a large turbo. I have plenty of clearance between the turbo and radiator, but with the slim line fan, it's sitting about a cm away from it, so am going to need to put the fan on the front of radiator

Hey Alexis, what slim line fan do you have? My GT28R is an incredibly tight fit because I have a ProAlloy rad and also put the heat shield back on, how much slimmer is it compared to standard? Got any more info?

Dave, i think it's a kenlowe or spal 12" / 13" fan, been a while since i bought it so can't remember the make. If you do decide to fit one, speak to PA and let them know the width then they can make up a couple of brackets to allow you to fit the fan properly, but you will need to drill a couple of small holes in the top and bottom of the radiator

You can get the gt3076R in 3" inlet instead of the standard 4" inlet but you will lose the ported shroud which I’m assuming maybe smaller but it will be a tight squeeze.

The other thing is what inlet housing do you get as Garrett “officially” only sell T3 4 blot with 3" discharge but there are none Garrett inlets in the US. TD in the UK can make the T28 5 stud fit and work with internal WG. I personal like the look of the "special T25-EWG-44" from here wink
