Hi guys, got a pair of mike vines "gibson spec" turbos (x2) still fitted with a pair of CES dump pipes ypipe and oil lines,

these turbos are plain bearing and are able to be overhauled, compared to most ballbearing varities, they give a beautiful power delivery, i purchased them on the advice of my engine builder and mike himself. never regretted it. they are in excellent working condition.

unfortunatley the car has suffered a internal crack to the head, and i cant be bothered getting another one ATM. so ive decided to sell off some of the parts.

looking for $2000 ono, Pickup is prefered from Rochedale south feel free to SMS me on 0418 751 062,

paid 4200 for the turbos and 1000 for the dump pipes

Pic added,

the turbos are modified t28's by mike to suit the rb26, 320hp each. they were designed to produce good boost at lower rpm around 1 bar at 3000rpm and full boost by 4500rpm, they drove very differentley to ballbearing turboed cars with a smoother delivery of power

I do know that every tuner that had anything to do with tuning it were very interested in what turbos it was running, they were impressed with the overall performance and responsivness.

the boost control valve and oil lines are included!!

      I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.

      Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary?

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
