Blown Motor, Engine Rebuild/Replacement.

O rly?

So I guess we're all in the same boat about the manifold. I'd definitely look into upgrading to the GTX turbos when the motor decides to quit, but I'm going to run the stock block and Stage II turbos for as long as I can. There's no point rebuilding the GT28RS once it's off the car.

Don't blame you. Nice whip btw glad your keeping it.

Stock block with our TT kit and fuel return is 550whp on 93 octane all day.

May even keep my GT28RS if I do built block haven't decided. Yes the turbos would be maxed at 15ish PSI, but only driving her 4 to 5 hours a week isn't much abuse.

Different is the GTX's would complement the power curve for better pulls and obtain 50 to 60ish more whp compared to the GT28RS.

but

You have ask yourself, is it worth the extra $1600 for the swap?

When it is time to drop the motor for a build, the manifolds will need to be replaced as well. At this point, I would have to decide whether to rebuild the turbo or get a new pair of GTX turbos.

You have a lot miles on your kit. GTX all the way and just sell the 28RS.
