I will go out on a limb here and say since Mat ran a damn good trap speed (as in what most of us see with tune at 19-20 psi and a lot of upgrades) on just 11 psi of boost, no you wouldn't have to boost that high, but these turbos are going to handle it better and not be at or above their limit.

I received a very eagerly awaited package today at work. Now if I only had more vacation time I'd be at home still installing these bad boys.
All new gaskets, studs and adapters, the only thing I didn't get was the modified wrench for the water lines, which I didn't need because I have two of them from taking the turbos off to begin with. Mat had mentioned he might be including one with the kits for any of you that order from him to make install easier (and believe me it does) but I'll let him speak to that.
As I've said, Mat's been great to work with and always available to talk to when needed (except when he's dropping 300lb molds on this toes
) and has gone above and beyond to make things right.
In any case, I will be starting the install this evening....I have a feeling tonight may be a late night.

Just remember to peel back on the fender well linings and you have a direct shot to them. In fact you do most of the wrench from inside the fenders so remove the front wheels. Pop off the fluid lines and the turbos slide right out. Kind of.

You can also loosen the v band to help get to the water lines. They are probably the worst thing about the whole operation. Passenger's side requires the removal of the starter to get to the oil line. It also helps to have long arms and not to have broad shoulders.
