I have the Island Twin turbo set-up on 16867. It uses two small IHI turbos. I am told they are the IHI RHB5 models. When I look up IHI turbos I find both RHB51, RHB52 and????. Can anyone tell me exactly which IHI turbos are used on the Island kit?

Thanks, Josh. I'll contact them. Since my posting I've stumbled upon a site that indicates that the "planned twin turbo DeLorean" was going to use the RHB52, but I'm not too sure of the accuracy and not sure if that is what Island used.

Thanks for the lead.
