Message	of using the turbo's from it. It is almost guaranteed that they will be at or near the end of their lifespan already. I have seen a few people go this route and end up having to pull their motor and replace the turbo's very shorty after the swap. Spee is right though, the blown turbo's on your car now can cause crap to enter your engine that would create problems. It is advised not to drive a car, especially aggressively, with blown turbo's for this reason.
