Any body have Gotham's turbos kit?
So does anyone have gotham's turbo kits? What do you think about them? Im looking at getting a ball bearing kit or just turbo. Ive been looking at the GT40R or the GT42. I hear that the 85R is a pretty popular kit wright now. Does that have alot of lag?

to increase cost 
really though..... if they wanted to keep the two runners seperate for a divided flange it could increase flow as they are not "joined" earlier.
I'd love to see comparisons.
I personally would just go with a larger wg as i'm poor. I don't think it's realated to the wg itself just the manifold and the design. The dual wg was a by product.
It could be argued that two is better than one right?

that's why i'm curious how divided/undivided spool differently on the manifold. Is the manifold better? I don't know. Anyone want to comment that has used it? I don't think there are too many of those though.........

post the dyno sheet ! id love to see it as others here would too
it must be a really weak 436rwhp as Christians GT35R on a weak compreession stock engine seems to hold its own against it.. christians probably making 350rwhp in his car, if that...ohh chicago cruises.. maybe christian can chime in?
