Secondary turbo replacement

Is it possible to replace just the secondary turbo with something that is a little more agressive to give more high end power and still keep the sequential setup to avoid sacrificing low end torque ? I realize that the replacement turbo would need to mate with the exhaust manifold and I suppose there would be a more noticable transition point, but still, I would think someone has done it (or tried to do it).

Hey that sounds like a great idea. I wonder if Bryan of BNR could do something like that?

the twin turbo housing is unique. you can change the cartridge and wheel parts but not the housing as far as i know.

Excellent! I have a customer with a '95 and a totally shot secondary. His primary is perfect, having been rebuilt 2 years ago while the secondary wasn't even touched :/ He was asking be about something similar: what can you do for a little more OOMPH. He's got bigger secondary injectors, HKS DP, RB cat-back & shortram intake. Who is this BNR you referred to?

thanks

j.p.
