HKS twin turbo kit pictures
This may be a repost, but I had not seen much on this topic. Here are a couple pics of the HKS twin turbo kit coming out.
According to the HKS reps, it has been finished and is in the US for testing. They are hoping for an early/spring 2008 release. It will be offered with 3 different levels of turbos. It appears to be a tuner kit, as the contents did not list fuel, management, or intercooler though I suspect they will be making a kit for that. Reps also said it should be retailing between $5k-6k.

The Cast pieces will offer a little more durability and ease the cost for mass production
Pray they make a carb legal version! lol

A dual port external wastegate allows for more control when using upping the boost past the gate spring pressure.
