Default Holset Turbos-Questions??

I have a pair of Holset turbos. Here is the compressor map:

How much is a pair of these worth in good shape? They are not water cooled, but are in good shape other than one broken bolt.

Also how much HP would these support? I was told 700 HP would be "no problem". Thanks for the help.

I am seriously considering going with a big single turbo on my project instead of twins, so I'm trying to see how much I can get for what i have.

As a pair they would support 800 hp at 7psi or around 900hp at 15 psi. Depending on how much boost you are running. As far as how much a pair would run, that's up in the air. I would take a wild guess and say that you could get them for under a grand for a pair, used. New probably closer to 2k.

Is this on the vette? Where are you planning on putting twins? They should be a good setup for a SBC as long as you can fit them.

I was planning to put them low on either side of the engine, but just planning it has become a nightmare trying to route two of everything through the tight confines of the engine compartment. Not to mention oil return to the pan etc. I have a pair used and am trying to figure out what to ask for them if I do sell them. I have a friend selling a PT-88 and am considering going with a single turbo. That or just going the 'packaged' route with a Procharger.

I am probably going to sell the pair, but don't want to break them up. The ones in question are the two at the top. The turbo at the bottom is missing some pieces.
