My factory turbo wastegates were shot (major shaft play), and I thought i might as well get stage1 turbos from pure turbo. They were very helpful and informative, so far very happy with the purchase. They also provide better wastegates vs stock, make sure they send you units with updated wastegates. Heres a step by step on removal and replacement, parts list used (its been a month since install and my amazon crush washers hold up 💯 lol). I replaced factory plastic coolant T with a brass one, and used silicone 2.75” hoses for intercooler to turbo in place of factory rubber ones.
Overall install was easier than i thought, realistically its a full day job , make sure everything torqued to spec and double check everything, otherwise not bad of a job at all.
These turbos offer more solid pull throughout the rpm range, drivability is very close to stock, i am very happy with these amd definitely would recommend for the money. Car will adapt to the turbos, but you can retune as well if the need arises.
