Question 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?

I would say at this moment A-specs 35R sale is the best buy on ball bearing kits. It was mentioned in another thread in here in the single section.

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 sucks! Pretty weak especially for a ported engine. I'd rather keep the stock twins.
