thanks. this looks like the best option so far. my buddy is trying to convince me to save money and get some garretts. is there a good option that will not involve having to use aftermarket engine management??? I currently have an M2 stage 3 stock ECU.....

one more quick opinion question.........



do you think it would be wise to try a "used" set from jt-imports. After all I could buy 4-5 sets for the price of a new one. Or, just suck it up and get new???

If you get new you might as well spend the money to go single.

that depends what you want to do... i have the 99 spec efini twins and they were expensive but they'll bitch slap a single around a road course any day, a single turbo will usually win in the 1/4. you can get more power out of a big single turbo than you can with the sequential but the difference between a 500hp fd3s and a 1000hp fd3s is about 1 second.

Actually it would be about 3 seconds, that probably 70mph in the 1/4
