Message	And how often do you see phillips on other turbos? I will say that it was the fitment that jumped out to me moreso than the fastener selection. On both sets we've seen the screws don't seem to fit flush and almost seem to be at a slight angle. For something that's such a precision part I'd have expected more. Will they be fine? Probably. www.SoCalZCrew.com - Come find out how we do it in the West!
