When you say twins cant handle the power, what do you mean?

Are you running sequential turbo setup?

Wow after only 2 months? 1jz swap or 2jz swap?

Are you running sequential turbo setup?
If its a 1jz its non sequential from factory. If its 2jz-gte they come sequential but you can't take them off sequential like I did fo rmore top end power.

Its a 1j auto, and i beat the **** out the turbos lol , was daily at 15 psi , when i raced it was at 18 lol, its now on mild and as low as it can go, like 13 pounds trying 2 save them. Im suprised they lasted as long as they did but its all good its time for a single and more boost!!!!! . Ima have my mech look at them and see if they really r blown or its me jsut not knowing about the 1j turbos cause once i hit like 1 pound its like a howl sound then when i let off it stops so i dont no, some parts will be forsale in the next week or so if any1 wants them. Im getting more excited jsut thinking about it lol.
