RB26 twin turbo vs single turbo

Every RB26DETT left the factory with twin turbos. When you upgrade, you can keep a twin layout or change to one larger turbo. Talk to your tuner about which suits your car.

The factory turbos

The standard RB26 turbos have ceramic turbine wheels, so plan a turbo upgrade before you raise boost.
