Mark P has seen good results with his AWE ICs.

I have them and love them. The car has a lot less turbo lag and in general the car feels more willing. They are a bitch to put in though, despite what AWE says, they are NOT a simple bolt on.

I have 2 t28 ball bearing turbos, almost all the hoses had the be replaced to fit. The car was in the shop for quite some time. This was not a simple bolt on but they do fit in the same location

Default K04s loose efficiency in upper RPM range

All hoses by the turbos were replaced and the headers were heavily modified to fit the exhaust inlet of the turbos
