Message	plan for 94TT with 227k miles: 1. I want to put on Labree exhaust with down pipes and I am thinking I should replace the original OEM turbos at the same time due to high mileage on car. I'd remove the OEM exhaust system, pull the 5 sp. tranny, and remove the OEM turbos/precats from above and below without pulling the motor. Can the turbo/precat be removed as one unit or would I have to remove the precat before a turbo can be removed??? I am thinking it will be easier to install the downpipes on new turbos rather than putting them on old turbos that are all rusty...and the whole job can be done easier with the tranny pulled. 2. Once the above is done and I know that all is well, I'd replace the intake system with a single POP charger. These are the only mods I plan, and I am thinking I will stay with OEM turbos. Thanks for comments. Jim
