seems similar to a 2560
I was told at one point to avoid anything with a "Skyline" housing because the 5 bolt exhaust flanges are different from the "standard" Garrett 5 bolt? Something to keep in mind anyway.

There is always the *ISIS T25/T28 Replacement Turbo - Nissan SR20DET - Enjuku Racing Parts, LLC

Hmm interesting, thanks for the tip.

I've looked at ISIS. I would have to redo my IC piping and intake. Not to mention I would also have to purchase the inlet and outlet flanges.

I'll call speedyracer and ask about the flange.

Since this is bumped anyways, I went ahead and used my gt2860 (gen1 ball bearing) on a kraken setup with a bp4w. Not at all disappointed. For the street a 2560 might be a better choice, but I still hit 16psi by 3800 in 4th gear. Not bad, and I'm at 7k elevation. Made 308whp on "allofit" so don''t expect much more than a 2560 power wise, but I can only assume it runs cooler than said 2560. The car is mostly a track car at this point and no heat issues.

If anyone is still interested,
I see 15psi by 3400rpm in 4th gear (6speed, 3.6, 1.8 no vvt) with a GTX2860R gen2 0.6 rear housing.
Great turbo, mine is a pure street car
