Going to be replacing my twins soon. Probably going with the 280 "Enfini" twins. I've tossed around the idea of the BNR twins but I don't see myself ever putting more then 13-14 psi since I don't plan on replacing the stock injectors. It's rather fun trying to research those on this forum, you end up with 3 billion results with 2.8 billion of them telling the poster to search. Heh. Anyway! Back to my question.

How much do twins normally sell for if I decide to just sell my current set still in good working order? Been looking at e-bay and whatnot the last few days and haven't seen any.

Thanks.

 

Typically they go for $200-350 depending on the condition.

 

Really? That low? Well that is slightly depressing.

Righto, thanks.

 

And if your exhaust manifold has any cracks in it, it sells for even less. As far as the prices go, it's mostly due to market saturation.

 

I've bought about 2-3 set in about as many years. I've never spent more than $240 with shipping. They've all been working turbos; nothing blown or leaking.

You either heard wrong, or listen to the wrong people. For the most part, you just have to buy from a good seller.

 

how much labor is involved in replacing the stock turbos? say I were to hire a shop and i just handed them some newer turbos and told them to install them?

 

I'd imagine they'll charge you about 4 hours of labor.

 

Go with the BNR's bro!

 

Put them up for sale and let the free market decide what they go for.

 

I bought a used stock twin with 45K miles on it from eBay for $250 plus shipping. No major cracks and runs fine, no smoke.

Why don't you replace it yourself, save money and gain experience? I don't trust anyone with my 7

 

I'd be interested in buying your set depending on their condition. pm me with a price and maybe we can help eachother out.

thanks,

Zach

 

I bought a set with avg cracks for 75 dollars.

 

For the most part, replacing the turbos is very easy, with the only relatively hard part being removing the downpipe.
