Message	I saw the post made by VECTOR about them being unreliable. I am going to buy these in the next month or so, and I am curious to hear more information on this. I have done some searching and I have heard of some BB type turbo's failing early. In that post it was also mentioned that you shouldn't run more than 1.3 bar? Is there any more info I can get on this? Or for those that have 2530's, how long have you had them? And what type of boost levels have you been running with them? Any help would be appreciated.
