True, forgot about that. I guess if you got a good set of couplers and some hair spray you would be good to go.

I don't do Dezod or TT, so my opinion was based on the way the components looked. I would not only change the turbo, but switch out those weak looking couplers too. T-bolts look cheap as well.

CXRacing (ebay seller), has really good aluminum "universal" intercooler pipe kits. And they are really good on pricing.

I wish I was super rich so I could buy all this crap and just test. Just spend time installing and dynoing and running the crap out of it to see what the deal is.
