rb20 turbo?

[Tyler]

okay guys, so i bought a turbo today, its from an rb20 and it has almost no shaft play, its really in good shape, plus i got it for cheap. so my question is, is this a good turbo for a low boost DD ka-t set up? or should i sell this one for profit and pick up a sr t25? im just asking cause i have heard its a hard turbo to make work, and there is lots of custom invloved.

i will be using an rb25 turbo and i think they are the same except that the 25 turbo is BB.

Didn't read that thread but the RB20 turbo is a T3 Flanged T25 or T28 hybrid Ceramic Turbine and Ball bearing.The RB25 is I believe another T3 flanged T28 Ceramic Turbine / T3 Compressor Ball bearing as well.

Don't run either about 13-14 psi because the Turbine will shatter.Plus the turbo is not effecient above that.I personally wouldn't run more than 12-13.

You should be able to see about 275 WHP with a RB25 Turbo. You'll get insane response with either turbo though.

I wouldn't waste my time with the RB20 turbo, unless you get it free or less than $100.
