Lucky guys you are.
I'm just dreaming to have that job done on my turbos by Kevin, after have read so much on the forum about that "transformation"... unfortunately the customs, at least here in Italy, create tons of problems always, exporting and re-importing whatever thing...
In any case, if I will ever dismount my turbos, I will have the occasion to check out why my car creates a "white numb" everytime I start the engine...! a lot of people told me that it is a problem caused by the o-ring between the engine and the turbos...
And it could be the cause why the oil consumption is so high!

I have shipped many items and car parts back and forth from Europe. It really isn't a problem at all. Just use FEDEX and sent it as No commercial value, item for repair.

For some of you guys that have been seeing more wheel spin than seems normal, think tires. I'm 100% stock and up until recently, had older tires that hardened with age. I was routinely able to break tires free in second when boost came on. New tires, no longer happens.

Well I can guarantee you, that Sharkster tires were brand new Sport Cups, I took them on and off to many times... They were shreaded by the end of that day!

I can do a complete install video very soon right Kevin?? I can also do a 90% deinstall this weekend.
I removed my turbos this past weekend start to finish in 2-1/2 hours.
