quick?'s on Spirit R turbos

During the process of tearing down my brothers engine we found out that the stock turbos would be worthless to put back in his car. the rear one has a bent blade and the front one has a pool of oil down at the bottom as well as both having a lot of shaft play.......needless to say we will need some new turbos. Luckley we get things at cost from the dealership so thats no big worries. my main question is other than the turbos them selfs is their any other things needed to put these on a stock setup? will they run with the stock computer as well as with the stock fuel injectors? other than that do you guys know the part number for it?

My other plan is to possibily ceramic coat the heat shiedls as well as the down pipe and put heat insulation of some sorts around the new factory wireing harness to keep it from looking like the old one in a few years. basically I want to redo the things right and have it ultra reiabable. I know this costs more up front but it's not worth halfassing things when given the chance to do it right the first time. Any suggestions on this as well would be great, I'd like to do all the nesicarry engine relatied things when it's out vs in the car. Down the road the plan is to run a greddy 2 row front mount for the stock twins, as well as the apexi EMS deal. it all ready has a semi decent 3" turbo back setup wich will be ceramic coated. also it's getting a new fluidine radiator with evans coolent. again too suggetions would be great. I'm more fimiler with MR2's than RX7's at this point.

These are bolt up, and will outperform the 99 spec efini twins as well as the 'spirit r' turbos.

To see power output, check out the links in my sig.

Like Rich said, the BNR Stage III turbos are quite impressive.

I also have a set of low mileage Knightsports RF 420 turbos if you're interested. 400hp @ 1 bar

yeah I think we might just go with those, I'm having trouble finding a part number for the stock turbos and I'm sure even with the discount the price probibly isnt to far off of BNR's setup, besides may as well do thing right the first time becuase I'm sure those are a real bitch to do in car.

The stock turbos are over $3K new IIRC. The BNRs are $2500ish.

I think they do require a core, or have a core charge. But GoodfellaFD3S would know better than I.
