I bought them from several Turbo shops in the US, with the dollar as strong as it is there are some smoken deals out there. You in a big hurry for twins? Alamo told me they can get a BTH-3B for about $600. Put your old HX in top of that you got a pretty sweet set-up for towing. I just picked up a couple HX-40 turbos. Its not to hard of a job putting together the 35X/3b twins. One weekend you would have them together. Sell your S300 and you'll almost break even. The garrett 3788 is over kill as your not going to use the top part of the map, in twins set-up you will limit your secondary Pratio to around the 2:1 area any more than that your drive pressure will become an issue. If I remember correctly, the 3788 goes to around the 4:1. Running with that turbo limited to a Pratio of 2:1, it is still at the mid map area for the 3788, I would rather have your turbo at the top of its map so you get better response from it when your at maximum pressure. I'm working on building an decent exhaust manifold for it so I can get the external wastegate on it or use a T4 flange for the bigger monsters. This tranny thing just bites and cuts into my turbo budget. Maybe this will allow me to fix the rear seal oil leak.

$3442 and change from turbochargers.com, although I did get a PM from a guy who gave me a number to another guy who sells them for $3300. I talked to BD, and the girl I was talking to actually dealt with turbochargers.com when she worked for another company, said they were good to deal with.

I'm gonna go with the 3782 stg 2. Has a larger trim, so it won't boost as high, but still flows well. With my goals, they'd be right close to peak effeciency if I get a wastegate on the primary to tune it in. I'm in no rush, but I'd want my 4202 sooner so I could fab them on the 12v.

Its never too late. The stainless might be a good one for twins anyway, big internal gates in them it sounds like.

Can anyone put together a twin kit using my existing HTT SS turbo. The reason I would like to use the BD twins is that they are matched for drive pressure. How would a guy know which turbo to use for a twin set-up to drive match my HTT SS so the drive pressures would be in check???

When the next dyno outting planned? Seems I only get to drive my truck based on dyno gathering. Being without a truck right now isn't cool.

From what i have read about IdahoCTD he uses a s400 with either a 75 or 80mm commpressor. He wrote in a few different threads that there are guys with 700+ on the s400 with the 75mm wheel. They look like such a nice kit to.

Jamie, Ive been swamped here at work, and busy sledding
The IdahoCTD turbos are working really good. I might be abe to sell your HTT SS turbo and get you into a set of II twins for a good price. Just throwing it out there.
