Looking to replace my turbos with something that will give me some more boost. I dont want lag and I would like to keep the twin setup. are these a good option?

They are excellent turbos but rebuilding them approaches the cost of a new turbo.

ok. what is another option that will bolt on without a headache. I already have one since my oil pump went and now im pulling the engine and upgrading to JUN parts. Will i notice a good increase with the HKS SS turbos? i have read that the stock ones are only good till about 1.2 bars and these ones are good untill 1.7ish.. i dont know if that is with stock cooling. (intercooler) I am pretty new with nissan and turbos all together Im used to my easy to work on Toyota 4x4. haha.
