oh. looks like the same thing as the ones on ebay from australia.

1500 dollars is way too much money to spend on CT12As IMO. They're still limited to only so much power, still a super bitch to take off/put on, and you might as well spend the extra money and get rid of the twins all together and go to a single set up with much more potential and simplicity.

Same with me. But no one seems to want to build one. and i don't have the money for BIC's Twin GT28's.

I'm just gonna go single CT26 I believe once Aaron finishes his manifold

Jeff said there aren't any dyno results, the couple people it's been done for have never contacted them again. On one hand, that's a good thing, obviously didn't have a problem with the turbos. On the other, sucks that we don't have numbers to look at

RacerXJ220 is putting an upgraded set of twins on his 1.5JZ. I think it's a K26 kit or something like that. You'd have to ask him. I think he bought them from Zazzn.

That price is way too much for those small turbos. Where are the dynos for the twin kit? How quick do the turbos spool, and part-throttle driving. I am trying to decide on either twinturbo with ballbearing turbos or not. If the turbos start moving fast enough then I will use ballbearing. But if it takes a while then I won't waste my money, because I am use to turbos with a little lag in them.

those are the manifolds I plan on buying, but they don't have flanges for external wastegate. I was thinking of some turbos a little bigger than the 28RS as well. The only problem is the T2 flange on the manifolds, and lack of flange for wastegate.
