You know there are so many other variables to that question. In general, at least half life. Maybe less. Just depends how you care and drive the car.

Oh I know of course there are, could blow tomorrow with the stock WGs. I suspect my stock WGs are leaking anyway so we will see!

Thanks!

Most of them have not run their cars much. Nothing is going to BLOW UP per say, just eventually start using oil and fail. I don't mean to paint a dooms day picture.

Oh, about 3 hours or so with setting them up.

I installed these on my k16's today with the help of Jamie Furman. We got it done in about 1.5 hrs including time to find new nuts for the new wastegate rods and a hot motor. Wasnt difficult at all.
