Default The car seems to have lost its power.

Only real way to tell is bring it some where and have them put a boost gauge on it. Good luck.
I blew my turbo and it sucked, but now i have the T-28 so its all better.

Default The T28 is a Garrett turbo and is part of the PES turbo kit. Here is a pic of it next to a stock K03

Default From what most of the people say is it makes boost as low as 2800 and full boost (19-21psi) at 3400.

My car has had bad compression from the start and it is getting worse right now. My full boost was hitting at 3600-3800 rpms but it now up at 4200 because of the compression. But I was still able to make 225 hp on a street chip and 250 hp on a race chip at the wheels, which is about 300 and 335 hp at the crank. I think with the extra boost that I run now at the track that got me 106.60 mph in the 1/4 mile should be making about 350 hp at the crank.
