Being single has some benefits. I drive a fat car, have a New SUV I drive Daily, Wear a Rolex. Buy 4k dollar computers. Travel wherever whenever I want. Drop 13k at a time and no one complains or threatens to leave. LOL
I did Pretty good this year though. I think It will be somewhere around 73k. But I would work for less. My car is paid off I have no Credit card bills or loans. I could work for 40+K and still have fun. Right now I waste more money just to spend it. I should save it but I have no Dicipline. Maybe it is time to find a wife. J/K
I started dating a College Senior here at University of NH. She wants to be some kind of Actress. Give me a break. She will spend more time on the "casting couch" and come back with a useless education. Although its fun to bang her thinking she might one day be a movie star I can say "hey i used to do her".
Keep me posted. I am always looking for a better deal. Will work for car parts!

The series-8 turbo's you are talkiing about are more efficient than the previous series-6 (92-95) & identical series-7 (96-98) versions. They are a few microns smaller on the inside allowing a closer gap to the blades thus giving a lower pressure drop.
Get all that..????
You will need to re-tune your ECU to suit if you do go for them too.
If you hang back a few months. Here in Oz, we are getting a set of factory looking twins made up for public sale.
Standard, the FD engines (92-02) use a pair of HT-10 turbo's. We are adapting & modifying a pair of hi-flow HT-12's to fit & look + perform just like the original turbo's.
Beauty about this is their ability to tolerate 18psi reliably & max out at 500hp in flow.. Advantage over the single 500hp turbo will be the throttle response, low end torque & all the other advantages a twin has over a single.

ZoomZoom what did you pay for the GT 35-40, manifold etc.?
If you get the same sort of low end as the twins I could have an interest but what kind of $ are we looking at?
