Me neither. I've checked every place I know of that sells Borg Warner, even the Borg Warner site itself and nothing. BTW, the Borg Warner site is quite possibly one of the most vague websites I've ever been to. I guess you have to be that way when you make as many different products as they do.

I know its knew, but 2,895.00 seems like alot for a that turbo, you can get the ko4 for almost 2,000 less, doesn't seem worth to me IMHO.

audiboy is right, but... if your willing to spend that much money mind as well get the gt28rs, BIG HP. But once you get in to higher hp settings your going to need more stuff, IE: clutch, depending on what kit a FMIC, downpipe cat-back exhaust, software. Its all realative to what kit you choose, or if you piece everything together.

That is a good price. Pro-imports, where I got mine, is up to $800.00 now.
