yes it is different and think will spool quicker but size wise its about the same. On the RB26 it only has to run 1.3L cause of the twin turbo so putting in on a CA18 is going to give about the same as the stock t25.

ok what i am trying to say is as a replacement it will work but a performance mod theres not much gains in power

A RB25 turbo (T28/T3) i think will work nicely

rb25 turbo is also ceramic, so wheels are lighter and spool quicker.
