Bridgey Turbo????

I've been thinking about having a go at rebuilding my motor soon and would like to go nuts with it.
How does a brideport turbo sound?? I love the sound of the bridgeys' and love my turbo so that might be the go. Anyone got any ideas about that??

I've got a T04 comp housing (0.6) sitting in my room and was wondering if anyone knew how much a wheel and backing plate was worth?

And finally, a little note in a magazine mentioned a 13b turbo engine, running twin S4 turbos pumped out somewhere in excess of 450hp@rw. Dyson rotary is selling those manifold and turbo setups for a decent price. hmmmmmmmm maybe

Any input appreciated, I guess I'm just throwing around the things I've been thinking about lately.

if you only want 450hp there is no need to bridge.

bridging a turbo engine loses all your low end too. just give it a nice street port.
