Think it adds up to about R1700 in total, saved a lot on duty and tax as the package was marked as trade samples.

Here a dyno print of std RB26DETT @ 0.7 bar. 260.9kw. Note flat torque curve between 3500-6500 rpm. Twin turbo's !
Some new ignition coils, since some of the old ones are a bit suspect.

Decided to go with a single turbo upgrade. The cost of 2x garrett ball/b turbo's are just too expensive.
Here is the new setup: T66 Ball/b turbo, stainless manifold and 50mm ext wastegate.

Test fit. Everything fits perfect. Need to build exhaust pipe, boost pipe and oil pipes.

Did some tuning on the dyno. Ended with 300kw, and power still climbing, but keeping revs down to 7500 rpm.
Just a quick video clip, road was a bit damp, so there was no traction.

But you've got almost a 100Nm less torque at 3500rpm with the single turbo!!
And you're only getting similar or increased torque after about 4500rpm...

I know, not very happy with single turbo. Should have stayed with twins, a bit late now !
