Message	I'm 99% percent sure I'm gonna go with the 500's now. i was gonna go with split pipes as well but now i found posts by very knowledgable z people (ASH) that non ball bearing turbo seals will blow quick with split pipes. ~500rpm sonner spool isn't woth it to me if my seals go. Maybe some of the 500 guys with pipes can clear this up by posting the mileage on their turbo's since installing the split pipes.
