Tim,
Glad to see you picked a good route on the turbos. You can't go wrong with that setup.
I talked to my turbo guy today and he was laughing with me cause he's never seen a turbo torn up like mine. Had to explain how it all happened. I get mine back next week hopefully!! I'm redoing all my turbo oil lines with braided hoses to make it easier to remove and reinstall. I'll get some pictures up for ya if your interested in it. I know jags.has it done but we also thought about doing it when we first did the install.

Woooohoooo... should have them installed next week along with s-car-go headers(thanks for the headers drjitsu)... ok so i know i am going to get asked this, i love the 18g's but was looking for more boost on the top end .. the 18g's seem to run out of steam at 1.35 bar around 5700 RPM

Congrat! I wonder what other parts did you got? Such as bigger injector, secondary fuel pu
mp, new y pipe, new maf, larger intercooler, and Porto's cone type intake system?

Colorinc,
Very anxious to hear your impressions as I have been contemplating this for some
time. For me it is turbos (make my 18's into 20's) and a program I have already paid for so maybe I should just
do it??

Shouldn't u get fuel system , bigger coolers, bigger maf....etc to get the advantage of the 20g's?

yea it only makes sense to get 20g instead of 18g if you have fuel upgrades of the 700 kit. He has engine upgrades as well so he can crank the boost on it and enjoy it...
