Best Twin Turbo Upgrade

Saw a thread a short while back with a pic of some crazy TT setup with a custom titanium turbo header. Just wondering what your take is on what the coolest TT upgrade is that you can do, regardless of cost.

Why is that? What is the actual difference between them and the normal stockers?

My vote is also from the new BNR's

Since it's regardless of cost, and you want it crazy...

I would have to go with something like Marcus's setup on his drag 13B or Abel's set up on his drag 20B

well.. the man said regardless of cost. it's advertised on the Border-Racing webpage as being 750,000 yen, which converts to 6,361 dollars. then add shipping and installation.. and you've got your price for what in my opinion is the most bad *** twin set up you can buy.

A-spec is making a kit similar to the border kit at a price around $4k with your choice of two gt25's or two gt28's

More info on that here:

two gt28s on a non restritive manifold will put out crazy power...i know the gt30s are rated in the range of 400-450 EACH....i can only imagine how those two garretts will do...small...quick spooling...and huge power....hopefully he will finish the kit one of these days so we can see how much power that is.

Ahhh yea, that is the turbo set up Brian has for his 1st gen. Its not running yet though. I'm not sure what turbos they are (cant remember) but they are pretty big. BTW - The 1st gen those were on would be hard pressed to top 1900lbs on the scales LOL

Did I mention Brian is crazy? LOL
