k2rd has a similar kit, it gets pricey cause those turbos are like $1500 each

yeah, k2rd wants to make me a triple turbo setup for the 20b, but thats $$ as well as something more complex than the twins, i think i want a single

Big twin turbos is kinda cool, but why bother? Single turbo is still better.

dunno, We will see.. dual ball bearings and they are a good size = goo spool u ptime. Should be awesome for autox



Im really thinking of getting them.. maybe in febuaray.. or when the kits comes out.. .. Either the twins on I stick with the T51 (top end =], lotta vettes and porches here)..
