    Probably gonna head to the city and have a shop make one. The only twinscroll t3 manifolds I can find for our motors is for miatas and I am not sure how thats gonna work out. PLUS, this is going in my bf gtx with all trac swap so I think space is going to be tight.

    absurdflow makes the only off the shelf one I have seen,



    for 1000 bucks though I can get something made to fit my exact needs and probably made of stainless.

          if it helps Bullseye makes a stainless steel .63 a/r turbine housing, and is no longer twin scroll, just standard T3 flange. Costs around $225 iirc.

            twinscroll is what I want, should help with the "lag" that everyone who hasnt run one claims is going to make the car hell. but thanks for the heads up. I also want twinscroll for the badass twin wastegates lol $$$$.

              hahah fair enough! Just figured the tighter turbine a/r would cut down on said "lag" as well

                  Absurdflow makes killer ****.

                  the only time you will see any "lag" with a Holset on a BP is if you are dumb enough to be out of boost threshold. (FYI never do a 5th gear roll from 50 against someone with a redtop SR, you will get stomped)

                          I'm currently shopping for a Holset too, I'm going with Holset because the larger than normal exhaust a/r I require would be silly expensive on the other brands. I don't need the benefits of the fancy stuff, just a big hunk of iron.

                          I've heard nothing but good things about the reliability of these. It's the turbos we use at work on our emergency fire pumps.

                            Holsets are the honey badger of turbos.
