What the heck is an injector seal? Don't ever listen to the person that said that again.

Open exhausts can overwhelm stock internal wastegates, which leads to boost creep and potentially blown engines.

For what? Read through the 2nd gen section to get familiar with common modifications made to TIIs.

I don't think much of them. They alter the boost signal to the ECU to get around fuel cut, but that also means fuel and timing are negatively affected. Chipped ECUs from pocketlogger.com (Rtek 1.5, 1.7, 1.8, 2.0+) are much better. What are your plans? Do you just want to be able to safely run more boost on the stock turbo?
