Honestly, after learning the steps involved, it opens up some options for me as well as locals...
I have no plans right now for anything different, but the biggest barrior has always been the labor cost of changing turbos due to the need for an engine pull. If I can tackle that myself, then who knows what's to come ;-)
Also, my K04s have 81k miles on them, so they might need some love some day. I've noticed my Boost Freq Valve Duty Cycle is a bit higher than others for obtaining the same boost levels. I attribute this to the turbos wearing a bit and not being as efficient, so the wastegate has to be closed more to obtain the same boost. If that's true, then I may indeed need turbos somewhere in the future.
