Pettit upgraded twins

Anyone heard anything bad about the Pettit upgraded twin turbos? I'm thinking about getting them to get me through the next year (while I decide which single to get).
Thanks
Jim

One of the local guys here in Dallas has them, I'd shoot him a PM. User name is wonder1and, and his name is Ryker. He seemed to like them when I spoke with him at the Dallas Hot Import Nights 2 weeks ago.

Keep the twins for now, save the money for the single. Is this the same Jim with the red touring that I met at Auto Custom in Quincy?

Yeah... You wouldn't happen to go by the same name as James Bond's technical assistant?
How's your car? I haven't seen it around in a while?

go with BNR upgraded twins. They are cheaper and hopefully better.

I'm not familiar with them. Do you know anyone that runs them?

Yeah! I remember you! Your car was pretty much stock, but you were faster than Q.....right? That was funny.
Is that store still open? They're never open. I'm sorry you've been jinxed. That sucks. I've had horrible luck myself. It's been one thing after another. I'm slowly catching up though. I just did an ACT clutch, pillow ball mounts, and M2 control arms and toe links. I have a coolant issue right now that scares me. I'm going to get a radiator all new hoses, a thermostat, and ast deletion. I'm not taking any more chances. The car's water temps climb too rapidly, the fans come on(or I turn them on with the ac), and they start to fry my alternator bearing.

So I got an alternator used to put in when this one goes. AND.............last but not least, the turbo thing has to be taken care of because I now am the proud owner of the slowest RX7 in captivity.
What's been happening to yours? I haven't seen any of you guys around. I keep seeing this Yellow Integra type R with 19inch rims though. He's always very carefull around me. It's funny, he could probably beat me right now!
Later
Jim
