Which should I go with GTX2863, 2530, or 2860-5

Turbo's dont need a run in. Just make sure you unplug your coil packs and turn the motor over for a while to push the oil through to the bearings so they don't spin up dry when the car is started ?

slightly larger lag on sensations
Need a slit gear that reduces the lag
  advance intake and exhaust => more low-RPM power, less high-RPM power

I thought it was by now ancient history , the GTRS was a better replacement for the "GT2540R" and ditto the GTSS (-9) for the "GT2510R" . None of these are perfect but the -9 sounds pretty good for the power it was intended for .

The inaptly named GT2530R is really what's now known as a GT2860R with a specific 63 trim compressor wheel .

GTR twins are a PITA with late GTX compressor wheels because they were designed to work with a port shrouded compressor housing . 

The Holy Grail is probably a single twin scroll EFR and at a guess the 7670 would please most sane users .

Has anyone ever used one on the rare HKS cast low mount 26 manifold ?

Not that I know of, however a lad I know is currently doing an EFR7670 with the .92a/r twin scroll hotside on a tubular twin scroll manifold on an RB26 with basic cam upgrade... was running N1 turbos previously.

The only time I think twins would truly work is if they were both mounted on proper manifolds, externally gated x2, intercooler x2, plenum x2 (1-3 & 4-6). That way there's no turbulence or turbos "fighting" to push into one cooler pipe/core.

By that time, effort and money you're better off with a big fat modern twin scroll single.

-5s! while there maybe some newer tech out there these are proven too work well, 330-370 dependent on health and supporting mods
had them on 34 gtr, no real lag (as reving past 5k was always the case ;)

What is your goal?

The turbo combo had already made the car a little more laggy.

Adding big cams will make that worse, and to be clear 272 cams on a stock 2.6L is a big cam.

Testing shows nothing beats the stock cams for response (248) but that you can gain a bit of midrange without sacrificing too much response with Tomei type R or type A (250 and 256).

Duration is only a small part of it though, lift will help response and bigger lift needs valve springs. Ramp rate will also help it feel not as lazy, but aggressive ramp needs valve springs as well.

I used Kelford 264 after reading lots of reviews about the Tomei having soft ramp rates.

I've got strong torque from just under 4k rpm to redline, but my car has a few other mods to help and I run e85.

I'd suggest you talk to Kelford Cams, Camtech or Clive Cams about your whole setup, current results and your desired goals.

rb26 can not rotate these turbines anymore. What can I do to fix this?
