hi, i just have a question about the turbo's you would buy in a dual set-up suitable for an rb28dett. are these turbo's indecticle and able to be split up?
me and a friend would be interested in going halves in a kit to use on our respective cars.
these kits can be viewed at www.nengun.com and www.greenline.jp.
any help would be appreciated

maybe 
a turbo is a turbo.
with that said,
each turbo is different due to the size of the turbine and compressor impellers.
each turbo is different because of the size of the exhaust and intake housings.
the right turbo for you depends on your motor, your intended application and your airflow goals.
a turbo designed to work in a pair is the same as a turbo designed to work by itself IF ALL THE TURBO'S PARAMETERS ARE THE SAME.
some motors have turbos that spin opposite ways perhaps (isn't the VG30 like this?)
work out which turbo you want, then if they come in a pair, get them...
if they are designed for a 1500hp RB28, and you want a 200hp 4AG, of course they are not suitable..
if they are designed for a 460hp RB28, and you want a 200hp 4AG, then they are probably close...
wtf do you come in asking if splitting up some unknown turbo combination will be suitable for some unknown engine combination..
oh wait.. it's coming to me..... YES it will be fine
since you are looking at bling bullshit turbos, why not just go to Garrett, lay 2K on the table and buy a brand new GT series turbo that has exactly the specs you want?? no point fucking around and buying a turbo that is not suited just because it comes in a pair..
and you wonder why no-one replied to your message? (and wtf is bumping 29 mins after the first post?? seriously....  )
go and talk to Garrett.

from google
"Rb28 - Various Stroker Kits For Rb26 With 88mm Pistons"
""timbo- rb26dett mate. unless its had a stroker kit."
ah ha, im not sure of the full details on something like that, just a lot of the peeps i chat to on the gtr forus talk of the rb28dett's being the mutts nuts. someone did explain ti to me at one of the gtr meets, but i was drunk lol."
basically like a 5AG.. large capacity, and full sik ppl say they have an RB28, rather than a stroked RB26..

haha, 2 typos and some guy half-flames me in four separate replies...
i don't think i asked "would these turbo's suit my car?" in any part of my question, only if they were the same as each other.
oh and thanks for the advice on going to garret and asking... never would have thought of that one... (although hks probably know a fair bit more about their own turbo's than garret does). aren't these forums meant for giving out useful advice, saving people the trouble of going to the professionals/thousands of phone calls etc...
and please don't reply if you don't know what your talking about. vg30 = v6 (two banks of 3 cylinders, one turbo per bank). of course the turbos spin in opposite directions, unless one was mounted back to front. rb26dett = in-line 6. without some pointless fucked up plumbing or a back-to-front turbo both turbo's would have to spin the same way.
please feel free to scour my post for typos and grammatical errors and point them out in the most smart arse way possible.

Yeah they are. They gave you some useful advice, who do you think makes HKS turbos?

oh, and honest to f**king god, get out of the house and breath some fresh air, and stop banging your head against the wall, looking up other peoples spelling errors on google and giving out rudimentary turbo lessons where htey are not asked for. it seems a favourtie past-time of some people to jump on anyone who mentions the word "turbo" and rattle off a few facts known to anyone who's ever picked up a turbo/performance book.
and whats with a gt-rs being "bling bullshit"? compared to my current worn t28 its a pretty healthy prospect.

sorry if you felt that way..
RB28 + HKS = bling
HKS will sell you a bling turbo (the bigger the better),
Garrett will sell you a turbo that is matched to your needs

please get over the rb28 typo already.
i'm assuming you haven't seen any compressor maps, reviews or dyno curves of gt-rs/gt-ss powered engines?
both turbos are consistently rated as the best performing options for small displacement engines (1600 - 2000cc) and are bolt on upgrades for t25/t28.
oh and by the way, speaking of big bling turbo's, who makes the t88 again?

Trust...via Mitsubishi makes the T88
The GT-RS is an awesome turbo yes, but I think what they're trying to get at is that Garrett will build you a turbo that will probably perform perfectly for your particular engine, and come in at half the cost of the GT-RS equivalent.
