any one else got an opinion on fitting a ct20 to a 2.8???

i was told that the 2.4 turbo setup is crap on a 2.8 cos its too small is this true?? or is it a case of just winding up the boost and fuel to suit??

A lot of you guys mention the ct20 turbo set up is that the 2LT system or an aftermarket deal
