pettitracing.com, M2performance.com (ball-bearing twins), SRmotorsports.com, BNRsupercars.com - all have hi-flo twins. Last one is the cheapest and seems like you can gain more power from them but wouldn't run them sequentially since there are bigger compressor wheels

The 1999 Spec twins are available and are improved from the stock units and are a direct bolt on. You will just need to upgrade your ECU to accomidate.

how much bigger are the 99 Spec than the 93? How much more power do they give off? Because from what I know the 93 and 99 have the same hp although I know the highest hp "legally" in japan is 280.

the bottom line is, is the 99 spec worth getting over the 93 twin?

on a related note, i was planning on rebuilding my turbos soon with a standard rebuild kit. (a DIY kit from turbo city, or similar) but after searching and reading all the horror stories i am looking at alternatives. does any one have any experience with just replacing the cartriges. for example turbo cartridges i assume theses are new. any suggestions? and does anyone have a list of gastkets that will have to be relaced when i pull the turbos off?

Check out this twin turbo. This is what you need if you want to stay twin.... OH BY THE WAY, this turbos are rated at 500+hp... little pricey, but anyway you get 500hp it will be pricey...........

So, what would one be looking at as far as an increase in hp is concerned if he upgrade to the '99 spec turbos?
