We're still working out the prices on the upgraded twins.

The BNRs have put down some decent numbers. Mine haven't leaked any oil and I've run them at 15 psi sequentially for a while now. They probably put down around 20-25 more rwhp at 15 psi than the stockers. The 99 turbos are expensive but they are new and can handle more psi than the stockers. They might put down 5-10 more rwhp but haven't seen any proof. The BNRs are putting down anywhere from 370-410 rwhp in the 15 to 17 psi range. M2 turbos are very nice. Artguy put down 381 rwhp with those but they have no warranty.

Looks like you guys put some kinda ceramic paint on the turbine housings? Looks very nice and clean.
Is that included in the $700?

I have heard very bad things from people who have used the Turbo City kits. Supposedly they start smoking within weeks and sometimes even days. You can probably dig up some old discussions if you search.

i think my second turbo workes fine bacause i only start getting boost after 4500rpm so should i just buy one turbo kit and rebuilt one turbo or should i buy both of them. is there a video that goes along with this? has anyone bought and installed a turbo rebuild kit from turbo city? is it hard and how long did it take? did your turbo's turn out ok?? also, if anyone has a used but good condition 3rd generation twin turbo's so i can swap them with mines and not have to worry about rebuilding, that would be great. please post up a price. also, if anyone has a act heavy duty street clutch sitting around,please post up a price, i am intrested.
thanks
