I bought this turbocharger back in 2016. I instantly felt a noticeable difference with the car's power. The powerband shifted up from 3500 to about 37500 RPM making the car a bit more drivable at low city speeds but still fun and punchy in the canyons and mountain roads. IMPORTANT: YOU SHOULD DO THE FUEL PUMP REWIRE KIT. Bolting on the T28 without the fuel pump rewire kit will result in engine fuel cut in the high RPMS of 4800 to 5500. ExtremePSI should be letting customers know about this. Extreme also sells this kit.

Supporting mods are important obviously. I'm shooting for the absolute max on this T28 most of my parts purchased from here @ Extreme PSI. HKS Hipower catback, Megan 3" downpipe, this real Garrett T28, Fuel pump rewire, Walbro 190, Fuel Lab 818 tank to rail kit, Innovate MTX-L Plus, AEM digital boost gauge, Hallman Proboost manual boost controller, stock SMIC w/ hardpipes, RC550 injectors, Snow water/methanol kit and a Taxtrix cable with ECUflash/ Evoscan. If it doesn't make 300-320whp on my 98 TSI AWD Auto I'm coming back for 268/272 cams, gears and an FMIC. The absolute max I've heard of on the T28 was 340-360whp running at the ragged edge. After 21-23psi they start to create a lot of heat and are out of their efficiency range. Mine spools @ 2800/2900 ish decently and is @ full boost (currently) 10-12psi before 3300/3400. Needs a stall to build and hold more than 5-7psi before driving through the brakes on a launch. Auto/T28/AWD will pull super quick from a dig and run 140-145 pretty easily at only 12+/- psi. Good luck!
