OK so you were on 120k on stock turbos, but had to changed them because you crashed the car? Sucks dude. I'm glad to hear they were holding strong for 120k. I'm at 70k on a 07 gives me confidence. Happy to hear you got another job and everything is going great good luck!

You can wait til the charge pipe fails but you will be in limp mode once it does and I'm betting you won't make one day on the stock CP with the intended mods. You don't want to get stuck somewhere with a busted CP.

Crashed I mean they died. No crashes on car. But the weak link was the waste gates. They won't close and are at full adjustment. Turbos themselves may be ok still but waste gates are part of the entire turbo setup for replacement. Dealer wants $5500 to replace turbo setup to fix the waste gates. That's not happening.

Thx. I'll look at an aftermarket one. Get it done when I do the mods.
