Hey I have placed a few posts in the parts for sale section but i'm not getting anything even from the guys with stuff for sale. I'm looking for a decent set of twins, mine are dead. Hope some one can help. Budget dosent run to BNRs or single.

I don't have any to sell, but some advice....

Buying a used set of turbos is risky at best. Even if your able to find someone willing to economically ship something as heavy as a set of twins to Ireland, demand alot of photos, carefully check the seller's history and reputation and if at all possible get some history on the turbos....mileage, boost levels etc.

Usually there's a reason they're put up for sale...and they ain't all going single.

best advice i can give is save up for the BNRs or pick up a new set. unless you can verify that a set of twins is low mileage and in good shape you may as well flush your money in the toilet.

the stock twins are not reliable when rebuilt, they take alot of abuse during their time in use so even as low as 60k miles i have seen the twins become tired and near the end of their lifespan.

either that or go single if your emissions laws can get away with it.
