Stock Turbo Weight and 99 Spec turbo Q
Does anyone have or know the weigths of the stock turbos? Couldn't find anything in a search.
And are the 99spec turbos are a direct bolt on right? Do they run the same pressure as the the stock, or are they higher?

Direct bolt on and probably weigh about 25 to 30lbs.
I've put on 3 different sets on 3 different cars and maybe it's just because the other turbos were older but expect faster spool and an additional 1 to 2 pounds of boost. You will have to retune or adj the boost.

Sorry bud just cause you like eating **** don't force your diet on me. This was about the weight of FD turbos not how much some parts weighed that you shipped to some people.
Now send me my $20.
Who thinks Jim owes me $20?
