ok guys... over the weekend while driving my car, i noticed that i really don't need all that power. what i like is how quick the car is... not how fast. so now, i'm thinking about keeping the twin set-up. i was looking into the m2 ball bearing upgrade. now from what i understand, no one really likes it cause it still a seq set up.... have anyone make it non seq on the m2 upgrade... and does anyone here have the 99 up stock twin? is it as good as people say?? thanks for your time.

Can't help you much, but I can say that I'm still happy with my twins... And they are still sequential!



If you get the M2... Let us know...

if it was my money, i would get the 99 style twins, they are new, and if the stock twins can do 380rwhp@17psi then the 99 set should get you to the next step

Wait a little while, around the end of the month or so. I've got a set of BNR hybrids in my garage I'm installing this week then I'm going to street tune and hit the dyno around late Nov.



They are totally new, know one has anything even similar to this and they will be bolt up....also they will be cheaper at AROUND $2K. We are hoping they spool at least as fast as stock. They also have a 1 year warrenty which M2's have NO warrenty. Personally I dont care how good a set of twins are, I'd never spend almost $3K on turbos with no warrenty.



Also, the 99 turbos arent that much different from our turbos. I dont think you'll get any real power increase from them, maybe a little.

my choice would be the RS or RZ 280 HP turbos with that seal. At 151,000 on my original turbo's , they likely only have 100K or more to go......
