Basically will a T28 FWD work on a RWD SR20DET? How about vice versa, a RWD T25 work on a FWD SR20DE? Thanks.

I may be mistaken, but isn't a turbo a turbo? I don't think there are FWD turbos and RWD turbos..........

someone will correct me if I'm wrong

I think it has to do with how the housings are clocked.

As long as you have the turbo manifold and the downpipe right, or made, I don't see why not. I know plenty of people that use the RWD SR20DET turbos on the FWDs. They just get the BB manifold and downpipe to make it work.
