I need to know ASAP if a T28 from an RB26DETT will fit on my SR20DET! I read up on it, and people say the Skyline T28's are much smaller? And also, they are T3 flanged with different turbo outlet flange? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

What about the Pulsar GTiR T28? Is it the same as the T28 on SR20DET's? Anyone?

An rb26 is t3 and won't fit without switching manifolds and imo wouldnt be worth it. The pulsar turbo will fit but the compressor will need to be re clocked. The pulsar t28 is jb and is rebuildable and has the 86a/r turbine housing which lags a bit more but gives more top end power. If your looking for something cheap and reliable talk to josh at twisted motion about the 2871r. Its balanced and has better internals than other ebay turbos and runs $350 shipped.

Awesome! Could you link me buddy? Every other GT2871R I've been looking at is $1000+!

So, someone has offered me a "Turbonetics" GT28RS for $300 brand new. Apparently, the hot side is "Turbonetics" and the cold side is something else. Same company, 2 different distributors. Opinions? Just sounds like ching chong meow made, no?

Sounds fishy. If it has different hotside and cold side wheels than something has been done to it. buy from where you are comfortable with. I also have a buddy selling a legit garrett gt2860r with a brand spankin new chra for 1k obo.
