Installed my Garret BB turbo last night. Man, I would've bought that thing for the sound alone! It sounds like a friggin' fighter jet! It spools up MUCH faster too. I knew it would spool faster, but didn't know it would be by that much. Seems to be running about 50 - 100 degrees cooler egt's.
Removal of the original turbo was really easy. Needed help when installing the new one, but that was mostly to help get everything positioned right so I could get the clamps seated correctly. Had to fight with the intake boots a couple of times because they kept getting folded under when I would try and put the x-section pipe back in place, but other than that it was pretty easy.
I think my mileage is gonna go way down though, because I like the sound of hearing it spool up so much!
