i've made some for mine, can do you some for about £500 if you're using a custom inlet which I'm guessing you will be seeing as you're turbo! you can also buy them from dbilas dynamic in germany, costs 1500 euros. you can get a rebranded version of the kit in the states from BMP design, costs about $1700 iirc.
here's mine (with intake which needs repainting on this pic!):

Not necessarily, I'm not using sealed bearings on the ones I made for mine, but as the miles pile on, it will doubtless become an issue, although I have designed the new M20 ones with sealed bearings to elimate these problems :)
