They will cost 156 bucks plus 32 shipping. (Rediculous) PM if you want the sizes, I have it typed out by size, and t-bolt clamps.
The turbo is working out fine. I havent gotten it tuned for the upgraded ignition so I cant go above 5k. But Bryan does amazing work. I have no complaints, customer service is top notch. I am sure your turbo will come up soon, or if something goes wrong Bryan will let you know. I did run the stock greddy turbo at like 10psi for like a week before upgrading. Right now I am on the stock wastegate and havent messed with the boost controller like I did on the stock one. So theres really no telling if RIGHT NOW I can feel a difference. But here shortly I am sure it will be very obvious that the BNR Turbo Upgrade Kicks ***!!But yes you can hear the turbo spooling up as you drive. In fact, I will get video of the car tonight so you can hear the turbo along with my backfires

Ya, that will do it. Does yours pop when youre driving or just when youre in the driveway revving the engine?? I didnt hear any pops in your videos. What exhaust are you running?? IM wondering if its more pronounced when its in a "free'r flowing" exhaust then it would a stock setup. Im out of money so my MS exhaust is going to have to wait!

Update: Did some research tonight at work, and I found a site that has very good prices on silicone couplers that are guaranteed not to explode and made in America. Go to siliconestop.com. I just placed my order and it all came to (with upgraded priority shipping) $132.09. Cheapest I found by a lot. They have a $5 flat rate shipping but I need them here ASAP cause Im starting my turbo install Sunday so I went Priority. Just passing this on......
