Now that Garrett has reverse rotation, I see no need to spend a gazzillion dollars on those.

Purely cosmetic. Performance gains would be minuscule.

The Garrett gt35r reverse rotation turbos are only $50-100 more than the regular ones. Garrett has also came out with upgraded wheels for some models. I have no idea what turbonetics is going to be selling the NREs for.

Exactly they already have billet s480 copies and on3 has gt35 v band housings. I am sure lots of people would like mirror twins if they were affordable.
