Just curious as I am planning to purchase the 99spec turbos...

Was wondering if anyone has removed there turbos since installation and how they appeared to be holding up to boost.

eg..cracks, shaft play, oil, etc...

I haven't un-mounted them, but I have been underneath the car a lot recently and I have inspected them. So far so good. No shaft play. No oil leaks. As I expected, no changes to date. I fully expect these turbos to last me a good 4-5 years without issues. (Silicone hoses sealed and zip-tied with all new solenoids last year)
