Why not consider billet K16's from Kevin? more power and quicker spool than stock K24's right?

But if you're X50 then understandable that it could raise questions in a sale...

My opinion is to go the reputable seller route, I went the cheap route in the past with an 'up and coming' shop, and although their warranty was great, the hassle when I had to use the warranty of removing the turbos and all associated parts was not worth it... even at my young age (at the time). I should have just gone a reputable route.

At the time, there were 2 sets of K24 turbochargers for sale here on Rennlist -- one was an hour's drive away. Neither seller answered my PMs. Serious performance mods to my parts was beyond my budget. But the billet impellers make a difference i can feel, so once the new leak is fixed, I'll be happy for a while.
