    Default rb25 turbo on rb20?

    scraic lads. My turbo has a bit more play than id lik so im thinkin of changing it to an rb25 turbo. I dont hav the money so dont bother naming them. Would an rb25 turbo be any more laggy than a rb20 one? Or would it be a minimal difference an would i be better with another rb20 turbo?
    Thanx

    Rb25 are a good cheap upgrade for an rb20...turbo's are good and spooly,no difference at all really.....There able to hold about 14psi off pressure aswell,a little bit better the the standerd rb unit!

    Thats the craic she said with one leg on the dash and nothing on but the radio............

    Yes they are gaslight upgrade for the rb20, if you get one you need the intake elbow too, the 3 bolt on the front as there's a slight difference in the rb20 and rb25 size. Everything else bolts up

    Ya mean outlet elbow

    Depending on price I'd consider one but the gains would be small
    I'm pretty sure a r34 turbo will bolt on as well,arnt the later r34's ball bearing? Open to correction

    no i mean inlet elbow , the outlet is the one before the downpipe isnt it......

    dont think so ted but i think they do have metal compressor blades, ive an rb25 nylon bladed jobby on mine, i got it for nothing so put it on, its good ! did give me abit more power, im using the rb20 actuator, running about .7 bar
