Actually the turbos are just aboue =. Although i would go with a to4e instead. You will get a bit better responce if that is what your concerned with.. Only about 500 rpms sooner though.. The to4s on the otherhand will have a little more top end.

The M2 BB twins require a core. I dislike the idea of paying 3k or more for any type of rebuild. Go New. Buy the XS single turbo. It solves some other potential problematic issues of a twin turbo setup.

I agree. The M2 twins are a rip off. Get the T04E. You'll be much happier.

at this point because m2 twins are unproven and no decent dyno has ever been shown...I'd go single or even 99spec turbos...

I agree with Johnny. if your going to stick with Stock twins Upgrade to the 99 spec twins. You can score a set for at or below 3k new. Will make as much power as the T04E and you wont have to lose smog equiptment etc.

Really? What "financial problems"? And how exactly do you know this?

Have you ordered from them in the last few weeks? Hard to get parts for some reason?

I dont think I'd make that type of acusation based on slow orders. It could just be that they are so swamped with orders they are having a hard time keeping up. That being said I'm not a big fan of M2 or thier turbos and wouldnt recommend those m2 bb's to anyone. I've heard nothing but problems with them.

If you want to stay with twins check out either the stage 1 or stage 2 twins at BNRsupercars. You can make about the same power with BNR's stage 2's for ALOT less money than the M2 bb twins.

Good Luck,
STEPHEN

To with the single, but don't count on 400rwhp @15psi. It's difficult to get that.

No I haven't. But you are the one stating that they have financial problems, therefore you need to explain what you are talking about.

Either you actually know something, or you are just making s&*% up. I suspect the latter.

the m2 twins are not a rebuild, they swap your stock hitachi h-12 turbos for bb garrett gt-30 turbos. They ask for the core because they use the stock controll units and manifold fron the stock setup.

the only thing i dont like is the price, bb gt-30 turbos probably go for maybe $800-$900 each

If it were me I would go single, I'm good friends with Brian, but you will be waiting a long time for stuff. The single is less complicated and no wait.

Do you have any idea on how or where to get the wheels? I want to slap in some GT-25R's in to my twins. I want my efficiency to be at 15lbs and I beleive the M2 set tops out at 20lbs.

Go look in the Vendors section and look for M2 threads...

You decide if you want to do business with them.

It was a response to the orignal poster, and it's subsequent replies.
You, Mr. GoRacer, are thread-jacking.

I don't think 2x GT25R will flow enough. I would go with 2x 28RS or 2x GT30.

Back to the topic, I would go single, or you can wait until sunday and we will(/should) have some numbers for the new BNR twins.
