Check the Wastegate and Pre-control actuator rubber hoses... Just squeeze them. You should find a small pill in the center of each hose.

did you compare the inner diameter of the nipples on the new turbos to your old ones? if you cant tell, you can always just drive and see how it boosts. those hoses are not too hard to get to in the case you do need to put some restrictor pills in.
