I'm going for it! I've got no turbo lady screaming, but I've definitely got excessive smoke/bluish purple smog coming out of my exhaust. The loss of power leads me to believe my turbos time is up. So time to upgrade! I'm gonna buy mine from JHM since they have a package where you can order the tubing and oil lines also.

There is a thread on Audizine of a guy who is documenting his adventure with his new RP's. I believe he is at 3000 miles or so with 21 psi but he doesn't have the fueling kit for. He has had nothing bad to report about them so far expect for the wastegate acuator nut came loose. Just apply some lock tite on them before install and you'll be good. Also make sure the coolant plugs (they are the hex head plug on the side of them) on the turbos are nice and tight so no leaks will appear.
