It's hard to achieve both in the same package. I have the '99 spec RS/RZ turbos and I'm very satisfied with them. However, I have no interest in top-end runs .... it all depends on what you want out of the car. You might be able to get a good compromise with the M2 ball-bearing or the BNR stage III turbo upgrades.

Nope. They are upgraded Hitachi HT-12's. Give either M2 or BNR a call to get the nitty, gritty details.

t66 I say this because single turbo's are awesome!once you go single you will never go back!as far as lag goes....you won't even care because you won't even notice.

Im very happy with the response and gains of the m2s...the bnr set is a bargain for the power gains...if i wasnt such a die hard sequential guy Id have gone with the bnrs.

T66 is a nice turbo - not too laggy and good power up top. I don't think any single turbo will match the BNRs or M2s running sequentially down low. Both artguy and I put down 380+ rwhp with the M2s and BNRs which isn't exactly huge top end but there is virtually zero lag. I'm sure the T66 can handle low 400 rwhp but it will be a little more laggy than the upgraded twins. Single is much more reliable though...
