M2 Also has ball bearing high flow stock turbos.
Might be worth checking out.

I might as well ask this here... but are our turbos non-ball bearing? Im assume so because the small trim size is sufficient enough to allow it to spool up quickly that the ball bearings arent needed.

Why is this??
I am interested in a upgade eventually also, and would like to stay twin.
Is it better to go 99 spec RZ, or upgrade the stock twins at BNR or some where like that??

What are the pro's and cons to the above mentioned??

Cheers
Shawn

All kinds of pros going with BNR like more power, similar spool times, unmatched quality, great customer service, reliable build quality.
Cons - NONE!!

I don't know much about the Pettit or M2 upgraded twins, but both of those names are known for quality in the rotary community. Just my .02

The only negative with these things is that they have been on 3 or 4 cars for less than 2 months and there isn't any real data on power, spool, or reliability yet. ...But Bryan's customer service and warranty still makes them a pretty safe bet.

there have been posts in regards to the stage two set being rather laggy down low on the bnr set.

I am very happy with my m2 turbos response and power gains. I am working hard to get a dyno sheet for you all. Id hope I have it by the end of the month.

good luck

So are you better off to keep the U.S spec turbos and have them upgaded?
Or go with new/used 99 spec twins?

Also if you want down the road, could you up grade the 99 spec to??

Cheers
Shawn
