I Dont always understand what comes out of Steveos mouth.. but he DOES know what he's talking about

And he is correct in saying that the 400 or so dollars in turbo cost is chump change when it comes in comparison to an upgraded

Head

gearbox

clutch

fuel system

Hell you could easily spend 15grand + right there

You say you want a standard looking engine bay from the top, well get the -5s because by the time youve finnished that custom piping for a pair of GTX turbos, i dont reckon its going to look too standard

-5s have proven themselves over and over again. I tell ya what, one drive in Piggaz's -5 set up would change alot of peoples minds, especially when compared to those RUBBISH GT-RS turbos

Honestly i would love to see some GTX results though. These builds easily get out of hand and go over budget

3.0ltr, go the 2530s, slightly "bigger" then -5s and would respond better on a 3.0ltr then -5s on a 2.8

Just read this whole thing, quite entertaining

I've had a good look at Gav's GTX setup and no matter how much black paint you spray around on all that pipe work, when a cop opens your bonnet ( which is what you are worried about ) he is going to sticker your car just as quick as if you had high mount single

I think with your original guide lines, that rules out the GTX, or dare I say it, you might as well go single
