Whats the difference? About $2000. Not worth the money in my opinion. If you're looking at both, and considering both, just scrap both ideas and get some upgraded twins instead. Way more performance for the money.

What parts are high flowed/upgraded in the BNR twins compared to stock twins? Here in OZ I can only high flow the stockers, which I'm going to do soon as my stockers blow. They got 128000kms on them!

it appears he has everything worked out, at least from my observations on my FD. Last time I asked him about it, he told me that the setup I am running is the only "stage" he is selling right now.

oh I am but every person has their own comfort level. Mine was tainted from the bastards at SR Motorsports and their upgraded twins that turned out not to be so upgraded. At that point, I choose the brand new 99 turbos that I got from Jesse Lau for a great price. They were just over the 2K range for zero miles. After meeting Bryan personally in B'ham, if I were sorting out a turbo set up, I'd feel comfortable buying his stage 2's or whatever the price range was for the 1600 setup (or was at the time). Save money and still have the confidence that the turbos aren't going to crap out on me in 1000 miles. Rich, can you expand the setup that he's using now? Bango bolt for oil control? BB or dynamic seals (carbon) seals? etc? what is the cost now? BTW, Bryan rebuilt one of the housings on the SR set and it was tight and showed his quality work.

I bought my brand new J-spec '99 Type RS twins for $2910 from SR Motorsports "garage sale" Nov 2002. Very happy with the quick boost response (at a slightly lower rpm), and they make 15 to 16 psi quite easily with no problems. Turbos have 18000 miles on them. Going on my 3rd motor, and the J-specs are still in great shape!
