I was looking through ebay(i know people don't recommend ebay for these) and i saw these ebay nissan t-28 turbo's. Is it the same? I know some nissan's also use the t-25 too. So i am wondering if it is the same thing and be a direct bolt on for a dsm. This is one of those turbo's that i am talking about:

I am really planning on putting on an evo316g turbo, but i saw these and for how cheap they are and a direct bolt on, would maybe take a risk.
Please let me know if they would work.
Thanks alot.
 
Similar turbo but no it won't bolt onto a dsm. Check out a 240/280 silvia sometime and look where the turbo is situated under the hood. A dsm T28 has a housing identical to the T25, just different internals. Notice that your T25 shoots sideways. And that nissan turbine housing will obviously be different and not bolt on.

My AGP T28 will be going up for sale in a couple weeks though as I plan to upgrade shortly. :D
 
Also, check out the flanges. A normal T25 turbo will have a T2-family flange (T25, T28). DSM's have the mitsu flange, even though the turbo itself is called a T25. It's a different size and shape, wont bolt on. so you'd need a different manifold, and at that point why bother with a T2 flange. Just get a 16g, or 50 trim, or a bullseye bolt-on. But for a T2 turbo, it's not woth the hassle for our cars. Sad, huh?

PS. lookup the flanges, you'll see what i mean. I'll try to find the link.
