secondly: none unless you count the 99spec twins or aftermarket turbos(ie: pettit, BNR)
third: how did you get to 200 posts without knowing that?

I was talking about aftermarket ones...ones I should be on the lookout that won't require me redoing everything especially the ecu right now. I do believe I have a blown turbo and if I'm gonna change the turbos I might as well upgrade.

if you want to change your turbos, you'll change the flow characteristics of your engine, and you'll have to get a stand-alone and upgrade a ton of stuff. if you don't want to change everything, get a set of low-mileage stock turbos. it'll be the only way to keep your stock ecu and bolt ons. if you go with a higher flowing set of twins or a single, you're going to have to upgrade your fuel system, your ic, everything.

don't the bnr's just bolt on and you get some performance mod out of it and you don't have to update your ecu/fuel systems, etc... ? I'm wondering what other turbos out there would do the same.

The BNR's are basically modified standard twins (Completely different CHRA's and wheels however). You could possibly bolt them on and run standard boost levels to keep everything else the same. However as they flow more air, the same boost level will probably still lean your A/F out. Also you generally bolt on something like the BNR's to gain performance by increased boost and would as such need more mods elsewhere to support them!
the stock cast manifold contains the gates to control pre spool of the second turbo and the wastegate, to change to a nice twin turbo setup that still retains the sequential capability be prepared to have very deep pockets (I am trying to find funds to do this myself)
There are some other options, One workshop here in australia recently fitted twin gt30 turbos into the stock manifold somehow. without proof of his dyno charts (Although he has a good reputation, I have not seen anything, and know nothing more on this as yet!) he has a claimed 400kw output. obviously a heap of other mods are also necessary.
If you want the clean look of a SS manifold, and twin turbos the easiest way is to dump the sequential capability. I believe RX7store sells kits for this, amongst others.
As I read it, any turbo change is going to involve more than turbos (Fuel, Poss engine mods, ecu, IC, exhaust, and possibly a non-seq conversion)
Read a heap more, search posts here and on a heap of other sites for info. And keep you money in your pocket until you learn a heap more. I only know what i do from reading on here, taking notes (with a pen!!) and comparing everything.

Just buy some used good condition stockers and replace them. The BNRs will bolt up just fine and you can run 10 psi with no other modifications. The 99s will, of course, just bolt right up with no other modifications.

I'm not aware of any SS mani you can run the OEM twins on.
