And what is the difference between the BNR's and Pettits Upgraded Twins?
And I still want to know if BNR can upgrade the 99spec twins or is this pointless? [/quote]
i dunno why exactly, but they always start leaking oil

OK, i just spoke w/ 3 people who said the BNR's they got were ****. One got a cracked housing back, after they charged for a new housing, second guy said the burbine was installed backwards, so from there perspective they have an attention to detail problem.
Anyway, they ALL have cracks unless they are new, mine had TONS of cracks at 30K miles. If they dont go past the gasket (which they normally dont) then its going to be fine.
As for the second guy saying the turbine was installed backwards......THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE. He is wrong.
I've seen MANY set leave BNR and they pay very close attention to them....they even sand blast everything so that it looks basically new again.

By the way, I'm not going to say that its beyond them to make a misstake cause everyone screws up sometimes BUT, its the way the problems are handles that makes the difference....I think you'll find Brian to be very good about taking care of his customers and doing anything possible (within reason of course) to make them happy. He likes for everyone to be happy with his turbos.

My rebuilt set lasted about 30k miles. I think BNR & M2's upgrade/rebuilds are too new to know the longevety yet. My 2nd turbo is toast which is typical running sequential. BNR recomends parallel for their stage 3 rebuild. M2 recomends sequential. If you want new, the '99 ver is about the same price as the '95 and M2's. BNR's are about $1k less.

Stephan thans for info. I spoke with the guy again, I did hear him wrong he said the washer or spacer we wrong on one of the turbines, and had to take it apart and fix. Anyway I still have my stock set on w/ 50k. Funnything is i went to a dyno last week and my car was very strong comparitively so i am really thinking about the future.
so since have a lot friends that go to Japan all the time woudl be cheaper for them to pick up a 99spec turbo and bring it back for me?
