ost_uid1]Wow !!! Thats a lot of money...
6000 US$ is almost $12,000 AUS.

For us a new Garrett BB Turbo is about $2500 Aus so 2x
that plus between $500 to $100 Aus for a custom manifold
is only half what you are talking about. That sounds way
too dear to me !! Over here there is a trend to use Nissan
turbo's off the skylines or 300zx's and two of those are
about $450 each and then as before $500 to $1000 for
a manifold was where I was thinking your $600 US = $1200
Aus came from. These are 2nd hand turbo's thou but do
offer great bang for the $$$.

p.s I would still only go single turbo the twins look great
but are very tricky to get to work right especially if you
went sequential against 1 per bank.[/color
