Hi Guys!

I'm in need on some information on twin scroll turbos, such as those being used in the current Mini Cooper S and the 207 gti. I understand how they work but I'm looking at implementing one and ideally need to try and get my hands on one of these, or something of similarly suitable.
Does anyone have any information on manufacturers or part no.s of these turbos or anything similar.


Any help will be much appreciated!

Cheers
ND

The CT26 as used in the MR2 Turbo (NOT the Supra though) is a dual scroll turbo. Shouldn't be too difficult to get your hands on one of these from Ebay etc.

also the Mitsubishi turbos on the Evo are also twin scroll/divided.

also might be worht looking into a Garrett GT25R or GT28R units. they have dual ball bearing cores and are pretty efficent. the GT28r are used on the first gen MINIS for twincharged or Turbo on conversions.

thanks Chris.
