Thumbs up Bad *** RX7 in Sept. Turbo ....Where can I get this hood?!!

Sup guys...I just got the new Turbo mag. in the mail. This RX7 is bad ***. He has Twin HKS 2835 GT series turbos with .61 A/R compressor housings and 56-trim compressor wheels!
My question is "WHERE THE HELL CAN I GET THIS AWESOME HOOD and TURBO'S AT?!!"

Speedlab.com isn't out of business, unless it happened last week. I bought a set of Raybrig HID driving lights from them a couple weeks ago.

Right below the 1st turbo.....you can barely see the foam air filter for it. The 2cnd IC pipe is clearly visibly...look at the y right before it goes into the endtank.

I dont know about all that madness going on with the hood... BUT THE TURBOS ARE BAD ***!!!!!! Those are the turbos I want on my car. Everyone is talking single turbo this single turbo that, na its all about the HKS 2835GT's. I didn't know it could be done untill now.

Thanks guys. Im calling today about the hood. And I agree the turbos are bad as hell. I looking into who can get these as well. I'll let you guys know if I find anybody and if the price is reasonable, but if its HKS you know its gonna be high.

I saw the Turbos at turboimports.com as a kit for the Supra. The price on that was listed at about $7,000. I am pretty sure if they even make a kit for the RX it will be around there, but just our luck they don't and it will have to be custom.... $$$$.

If you guys are looking for dual parallel turbo setups, check with Williams Tuning, www.turbostreetfighter.com . Marcus is putting together one as we speak, and hopefully should be up and running within the next week.

From what the article says, they will be posting the numbers on their website turbomagazine.com in the near future. They weren't able to dyno it cause the owner was supposedly out of the country and the new engine hadn't been broken in yet.
