Message I have been searching for days now and I have heard alot of problems that they have had.
One was about the wastegate flapper door hitting the downpipe, which i guess was not really a big issue, because you can just dremel out some of the downpipe.
The other common problem that I keep seeming to come up with from searching is, the wastegates not being able to handle boost above 21.5psi. There are some posts saying that they(Power Enterprises) have fixed this problem by going with HKS wastegates. But If i ordered, How do I know I am getting the updated ones? Does it say on the wastegate "HKS"?

Those that do have these turbos (Woody, etc), What was your experiences installing them? Are they a true bolt on turbo? As the HKS 2530's? What was the quality of all the parts that came with it? What are the differences between the PE 1420 kit and the HKS 2530's?

I plan on running them on stock engine internals, 90k miles I just do not have time for a build up just yet as I will be performing all the work myself. I plan on going with the Nismo 555 injectors. All my compression numbers are good across all cylinders, What kind of everyday boost will I be looking at using? What about Max boost for lets say a dyno run on stock engine? What kind of everyday RW HP/TQ will I be seeing.
I will be going with the 5 bolt split downpipes, but I have 3" test pipes, and 3" exhaust. Will the GD downpipes bolt up to a 3" pipe without leaking? Thanks alot guys!!
