well in that case i'll do it ! just make sure they don't leak oil
other than that they should last you a while ..and if you'll do the work yourself and don't mind u'll make it worth it no doubt , but the equation would change if you'd have to pay someone to do it .
16 psi + MBC +TCD will work for you
and if they turbos are ok they'll hold up @16 psi for a while if everything else is good (no boost leaks).

Sweet, I might do it then. However, the only problem is that I have APR software, and from
what I hear, most people say it doesn't take well to a MBC...so what should I do? Also, I found another set with about 20,000 miles on them for the same money, but they have a *tiny* nick in one of the compressors. I can get a compressor blade from audspeed for $95, and then get it balanced. Which option would be better do you think? And could I still homebrew on APR or would I have to do GIAC?

i'd prob stick to what's together and working already (50kmi ones)
and i think you can run the APR with KO4-s (MBC just to limit the original spike - that might not be a problem anyway), maybe a 5 bar FPR to be on the safe side (and see if it'll require some fuel pulled with lemmi when you log it).
maybe someone that tried that already can chime in.

man that shop is no Borg Warner i tell ya .. not sure i'd trust it as much
plus these turbos "need" servicing in pairs .. and if the fins are bent .. i'm not sure how well those turbos were treated regardless of mileage , honestly.
