the twin apexi AX turbos? It says "twin turbo response with big single turbo", I'd like to know if it works as well!
Personally, I think the knightsports twin kit (about the same size as the stockers but over 400ps) is a better idea for a street car - but I guess it depends on just how much power you want.

i dont think the little rotary with normal ports will push enough exhaust to spool two large turbos fast enough.

"Tell me that is not your FD covered in snow!"
sure is! hey, it's hard enough to get a free parking spot in japan - let alone have a garage. What's worse is apparently there is some problem at the moment with dust floating over from china - so everytime it rains (then dries) my car looks amazingly mouldy
Poor FD indeed...

The kit is beautiful and I doubt any one in the US has it because when I priced it a year ago it was over $7,500 simolians! Although, I do have their Burnout DP back race exhaust.

Damn there was some interest in it a while back, but the price turned people away. You can get the kit without the turbos and put your own variation on it, but..........
It looks cool, thats about all I can say.

Also, I'm wondering if you could ever see over 400hp w/ these twins due to manifold restrictions... I had a nice convo the other day w/ some guys, and I came to understand that the stock manifold is too restrictive, which is the major reason why you get turbulence and power loss at higher rpms (around 6500 rpm). Hence why you may have twins that are capable of 500+ hp, but you can't utilize all that power.
The 2 examples were the supra tt setup, in which I forget the specifics, but the manifold was designed specifically to create free airflow, and that's why you have lots of supra guys running 400+ hp on their stock twins. Also, I believe Demtrious' car that left a lot of us speechless, doesn't it have a completely custom manifold?
(Correct me if I'm wrong anywhere... I'm still learning =)

widebody2, aren't the twins on 300zx's garrett t25s? Cuz I don't think they're good for 500hp, are they?!
As for making the kit for 3 grand... is that an offer? lol. So what makes it so incredibly expensive, if Border is asking close to 8 grand for it?! That's a hella markup...

Its expensive because you need two of everything and no one else makes one. Also the piping is a lot more complicated than a single kit. 8K is rediculous. I am making 2 copies of the kit.
