I already have a Garrett GTX turbo on the car since last November im moving on to the new BW 8374 its the first proper twin scroll Turbo designed from basics. The Borg will be better but not a direct fit so most will choose the Garrett as its a direct replacement

yeah, the garrett has already a headache when comes to fitting it, but the borg warner are not very popular in Malta so I guess I will search a bit about them as well....

What cams and headwork does that engine have?

Is it running variable cam timing?

Twin scroll makes a big diff in spool so you can run a bigger turbo.
