I've been considering a twin GT35 project lately.

You can get GT35 ebay turbos with a V-band downpipe flange in 3 or 4 A/R turbine choices for $200-225 shipped. Yours might be twice the cost, but when you're still considering less than $1000 total cost for the pair, it is still a budget option.

During my searches, I couldn't find anyone using the billet versions. It would be interesting to see them in action.

Pretty sure they are relatively new. I’ve been hearing a lot of praise about the real GTX line lately. If KTS is doing their usual copies I’d bet it’s pretty similar. Too bad they didn’t improve the turbine to go with the fancy compressor though.

I like this. Minus the bolt on downpipe flange.

Very interesting. Not too sure about the V-band version Turbine Housing .62 A/R though.

That is the true garrett copy, which is the best turbine you can get for this. Its the one you want really.

Those are very appealing. Good price point as well. My only concern is the ball bearing cartridge. I have no personal experience with ball bearing china turbos, only with triple BB comp turbo and now a turbonetics BB turbo.

China turbos are doing great these days but I have heard that the ball bearing versions are still behind and there are failures occurring quite often. Has anyone else heard this?
