Very nice and informative write-up! I autocross in SM2. My car is starting to show early signs of a bad coolant seal(s) and your build-up has got me interested. How is the low-end/boost response now with the higher compression rotors? I too have the 99 twins, however I feel as though the 93-95 twins had higher torque at lower boost pressures compared to the 99s. The 99s feel much better at 10-15psi.
I think it rude to ask people how much they pay for things, but could you perhaps PM me with how much I could *expect* to pay for a similar motor setup???
Thank-you!

Dan,
I used to peak at about 250ft-lbs on my first turbo when it was bone stock. It would drop off to about 225 before the transition point, then spike to 300+ after the transition. This was at about 15psi.
I didn't figure out I had the sticking solenoid issue where it would blow off boost when going back down to just the primary turbo (I'm pretty sure you have the fixed). When it *didn't* have that issue, the car was a rocket off the corners with the 4.77 gears.

hey very nice car man! I'm just getting into autocross, i'm in SM2 also. I'm still getting used to the car as it is but its a lot of fun. im still on stock R1 suspension but after a few more events of getting used to the stock suspension i'm looking to get konis on my car and some new springs. just need to figure out what rates i'm gonna get. keep up the good work!

Been awhile since I posted an update on here. Added some action pictures after the the Kaaz and 4.77 were installed. What a great upgrade.
