sweet deal jason! 
When's the car gonna be up and running? I think max boost on the stock twins is ~15#
If you're still hell bent on keeping the twins, BATMAN has a nice set up... clipped/ceramic coated stock turbos on a ported motor for 410rwhp

I've gone 17psi on a stock motor(No porting and No special seals), and stock turbos(as they came from Mazda) with NO problems and dynoed 373 to the wheels with bolt ons. Just my 2cents.

There are a few people I know that are running 19-20 pounds on their stock turbos but they're only running it for a short period of time shooting down the 1/4 mile.

thanks guys....
I appreciate the input.
If you want to know about the ceramic seals vs. everything else do a search...there is an absolutely wonderful thread on the subject.
I went ceramic because Nick at rotary and I discussed what my issues were. The ceramics hold up better under high heat (that describes my car) and the 3mm one piece ceramics are the absolute best for high rpm abuse (that describes my driving on the weekends).
I think that the type of seals you get depend on the way you drive...but the boys in that thread i mentioned are more experienced than I....check it.

Actually, he (BATMAN) told me yesterday that he sent them back because on the dyno his car made less rwhp than it did with the stock twins!!!! He said they have great low end power because they are ball bearing but the hp wasnt there!!!!!
Who knows maybe something else was wrong but I just wanted to say he was sent them back
Later,
