I think a few people have said something about getting two front or two rear ones.

There is a thread in the for sale section all about those turbos. If you haven't had a look it may be worth reading.

Just make sure you get a proper set. You will see the wastegate lever on the side. One will have a bend in it and one will be straight. Other than that, they are pretty good turbo's. Maybe just ensure they haven't been knocked around. Here is a borrowed picture.

You will probably have to bend your water lines around the rear turbo (pictured to the right), otherwise the wastegate for that turbo will be unable to open, causing a failed turbo quite quickly. Otherwise they are good turbos, mine go great :-) Check the recent for-sale thread about them.

Well if you have a decent aftermarket boost controller, you'd be able to make boost come on a little bit earlier if you knew what you're doing.

I run 18psi with mine no problems. Did 25psi once by accident, still ticking away fine.

Hits 0 boost at 2500rpm with my Blitz EBC
