Default Stage III prices are going up, considering other options, namely T-28. Is there any disadvantages to
the T-28 kit. I know that the T-28 kit is not a ball bearing turbo, but how significant is this? wWhat about spool up speed vs the Stage III GT -25? How much of a price increase is justifiable to getting Stage III as opposed to the already cheaper T-28 kit.What are any advantages to the T-28 kit? Thanks again for any responce.

There is nothing wrong with the t28 kit... It makes the same power for less money.

Close. If you add a test pipe or HFC it costs about the same (absent APR's announced price rise).

Pretty close. The APR kit spools ~300 RPM sooner.

Default Maybe I'm wrong...
but I've got a feeling the price hike will be significant.
