No idea, from what I understand everyone talks about them but no one ever gets them. It's pretty pricey for a kit that no one knows much about. Seems like a cool idea tho. I imagine they wouldn't lag as much as some of the larger singles.

T-28 is a bb turbo that comes on S14/15 silvia's(I'm almost 99% sure).

Running 2 should make good power. HOWEVER, think about all the extra stuff you'd need to get these to work i.e. two oil lines/two return oil lines, intercooler piping, 2 DOWNPIPES etc.

Would it be worth it? I'd just go big single and be done with it.

Joel, if You have time after this weekend come over and I will give You a ride. I am still pig rich (9.6 in the upper RPM) and only running about 19 PSI but I think it will give You an idea of what kind of lag a big single has. After 4500 hang on because You are going to kick some *** and not many cars will pull like this does to 9000 RPM. I would keep Your turbo and You will make more power then those twins without all the hassle and expense. You will just be running them non sec. anyways so it does not make sense. Yor turbo will be at full boost much sooner and will be alot easier to drive then Mine but it is a rush how hard it pulls in third.

Yes, the T28 came on the S14 and S15 silvias here. also, you could get a BB T28 from the pulsar GTiR. the S13 had a non bb T25, which is junk. From what Ive heard (not into nissans) the S14 and S15 turbines are different. Supposedly, the S15 turbine will make more power. I drove my roomies S14 with an S15 turbine and it was super responsive. I mean like, almost no lag. However, that is a 2.0 liter boinger engine with a tiny little *** turbo, so I doubt we will see the same results, especially with trying to spool 2 of them. Id rather just get a T04R or TD06-25G and be done with it. One front pipe, one set of lines, etc etc...

If I'm not mistaken a T28 is a hybrid between the T25 and T3. I believe it's the T25 w/ a T3 compressor housing (not completely sure, but I THINK that's what it was). You can get them w/ a ball bearing, but not all are ball-bearing.
