t3 turbos?

I was just wondering if two t3s could feed a street ported 13bt? They seeem really cheap, have internal wastegates. The manifold, intercooler, and exhaust wouldnt be a big concern. Im aiming at about 400hp. What else could do the job at under $500 a peice. Ive seen alot of t3s on ebay for under $300. Again Im just kickin ideas around.

T3 is way too small. It's a little smaller than the stock turbo.

Well I guess if you use two it'll work, but why not just put a single larger turbo on? TO4s are common, and not very laggy.

I'm no expert on turbos so you'd have to ask around to see if these are good for your application:

I've thought about running two T3 turbos, with one each per rotor, but I think that they would be too big (and thus laggy) - consider boost response on a typical T3-equipped Honda, then remember how comparatively little air a single rotor flows at low RPM.

In any case, you'd be in for a lot of very custom work.

Why not just have the stock turbo rebuilt by Bryan at BNR.
