Default GT28

Looking at turbos and trying to decide in which direction to go....

How much quicker does the GT28 spool compared to a T34?

Is it worth the extra money?

Wrong. It will spool slightly earlier, but not loads.

My personal preference would be for a GT28 as I prefer it's power delivery, but at the end of the day it's all down to personal choice, the GT28 isnt necessarilly better than the T34 and vice versa, just have different characteristics as to how the power is delivered. You should attain more bhp from the t34 than the t28 but with a little more lag.
