The T28 is sized for tremendous midrange torque on the 2.5L, making it the best all around package for the street. The T3/T4 would work fine on a 2.5 if the piping were suitably modified to accept it. The spool up time on the T3/T4 could be raised or lowered depending on the size of the exhaust housing. I am using a T3/T4 with an exhaust hausing of 0.82 for my 3L application and with the intent of spooling around 3500 rpm. By comparison, a civic 1.6L in the bay next to my car and being outfitted with a turbo is using the same T3/T4 I am but is using a (i think) 0.35 housing that will alow it to spool about the same rpm. The 1.6L is about half the size of mine so the housing must be smaller to all the exhaust to quickly spin the turbo yet not restrict too much. 0.35 would be very restrictive in my car since it moves much more exhaust than the civic.
The guys at streetflight have done a great job at sizing the turbo based upon my desired power and operational rpm range.
The t28 would end up melting the tires on my 3L at low rpm ranges and choke the motor at high rpm.
There is not one-size fits all turbo, even among owners of the same engine type due to the driving habits of the drivers.

well put, this is why keith explained to me that the t28 would be the best all around package for the average driver wanting to improve their car. obviously you can do whatever you want when it comes to going fast. we all know it just takes $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I'd still love to see a T04B S-3 trim dyno plot though.

Very well put and explained and I agree with you. So, when you going to be a man and put on that T-76? J/K... Anyone have pictures of their Svt-C turbo?
