Twin Turbos??

Are they worth keeping? Also how much do a used set with 80k on them go for?

well this question is not easily answred. a used set can go from $100 to $500, probably 300-350 being average. I paid 100 for mine, had less than 20K on them.

Are they worth keeping? Thats up to you. the twins have best response, best low end and are hands down the most fun for the street.

The single turbo's have less hardware and less vacuum lines (rats nest), more top end and create less heat. but are a dog on the street and will not pass emissions if you have it.

Its all personal choice. I like the twins, but I would love to test drive a GT35.

I think my HKS T51R KAI is way more fun on the street than stock twins.

Sorry but you cannot carve up a mountain or curvy road with a single turbo even the HKS T51R - too much power too fast - I know the sequentials can creat problems at tranisition with extra power in a curve but single turbos take too long to spool - even if you top out at 500+ who cares. Even having the stockers running non-seq is too laggy for me.
