Even if it's 1500$ shipped you would still have to pull out your turbos and send them in or find a pair on ebay. Then you have to pay to get them installed which is not like switching intakes...30-40rwhp I will vote for a Meth kit which can be had for 300$ and installed in a day.
Good luck though I hope it turns out good. |

Shaft and wheel are one piece. Its not as simple as inserting a higher quality shaft only in the centersection... you have to make the Turbine wheel/shaft combo work. Unfortunately this wheel is just very small, and if you use it you are stuck with a tiny shaft.

Guys, if this upgrade will not only give you a boost in power but also solve the issues (rattle/siren) and/or used as replacement; then wouldn't these make sense instead of going for another set of OEM turbos???
Until you hear all the details, stop making assumptions. |

I think this is a great step in the right direction, if not more.
I know that ASR was never a vendor on this forum, but did we ever hear about pricing for their upgrade? I am also interested what GIAC will do for their Stg. 3 (turbo upgrade). I appreciate people like OP for being the tester of an option for upgrade. |

OP,
I believe your warranty is about to expire if it hasn't already. Why did you choose to touch the stock turbos when you could make a complete kit with another set of larger turbos? Especially after seeing a few fail at doing what you're attempting. Yes waiting for an exhaust manifold to be made and running piping around would take a couple days longer than what you are doing now. But doing that would be a guaranteed improvement and give you more overhead plus doing a legit/complete job. Doing so also might give you the chance to break ASR dyno numbers. |

Will piggy back chips like procede or JB be able to learn and function with the new turbo setup?

I'm not a turbo expert but this seems like Deja-Vu all over again. You're a brave man JPS. I'm wishing you the best of luck too.
