Does anyone have a "turbo guy"? Like a friend who is super good with trubos and questions around them? As in, technical questions and such?

Please share.

Appreciate the help.

What is your question so we can all learn from it?
Buying a used PRL Big Kit for a great price. It has the 2860RS turbo. I would rather swap it out for a new Garrett 2860R Gen 2.
Without the kit in front of me currently, will the turbo itself, simply be a swap or will tinkering be needed?

Sounds like a question for PRL or a Garrett distributor. Full race is my go to for Garrett stuff.

I have them in my contacts as well. I like to get multiple options/ideas before proceeding.
I appreciate it.

Yes I believe so, just make sure you buy a t25 internally gated 2860r and it will swap. You may have to clock it to the position that works with the PRL kit.
