You buying local or in the US ?

And do you need a compact unit, or are you ok for space ?

The problem with all this crap, is there is just far too much damn choice !! I'm going down this path myself soon, but just cant decide on what units to use.
I want the BW's, but they're massive. If I cant make a pair of them fit, looks like it'll maybe be a custom Garrett/Tnetics setup.

AGP offer the S200's with a range of their own smaller housings

Or Ive been given a few options by these guys

The Turbonetics list is so long, almost impossible to decide what is what, and what the differences are between their own units.

If you decided you wanted Precision turbos, there's a supplier local to me who does decent prices.

DrTurbo also quoted me on a pair of BW's with a good price.

A friend has an S366 here, so trying to get a lend of it to see if it is even an option though. Once I have it here, I can make a final decision

Hi Steve

Its actually the engine with your old crank and rods in I bought from you

I am actually quite tight on space I did look at the borgs but agree they do look massive. The turbonetics I was thinking of ordering from summit seems they are quite small comparing to the others.

Just don't want to over turbo it and it takes forever to spool up. Im thinking Twin turbonetics 62mm with the 0.81AR t4 will spool quite quick.

What engine are yours going on??
