Yes. I'm pretty limited by the 91 octane fuel, but I expect a good increase on 100 anyhoo.

Thanks for the response I have 27K total miles on my car but I will consider changing them soon. I don't drive my car as hard some people here and I rarely run race gas.

Do you offer the turbos without the upgraded actuators? I already have a set...

BTW I bought some plugs from you guys and they arrived quickly and were packaged well. Thanks! I appreciated the greasy fingerprint on the receipt. Sign that someone was tinkering

We have plenty of K24/18Gs in stock right now, $3,750 is the current price for 2 brand new turbos with 18G and wastegate actuator upgrades.

want to do the same at some point but worried about smog testing...

I was worried when I went in for a smog test but my car passed with no problem. It's a great set up... lots of power and no lag.

I think you have a K16 with a K24 compressor, indeed a great setup, definitely fast spool, with just a hint of less poweer than standard K24s at the very high end. Still, a superior setup for zipping in traffic.

We are talking about 24/18g hybrids.

Most setups whould pass smog no problem. You don't even build boost in our cars. Due to AWD it's an idle and rev test only. No rollers.

I have the K24/18G's on my X50. Put the 60lb Injectors on the car, which was way too much fuel for the car. I am running 1.1bar without upgraded FPR and getting no know. The car is running 96 Octane pump gas and it was tuned on the dyno and getting approx 520 whp. The K24/18gs are a great setup.

We only sell them with the actuators, one side gets re-clocked during the upgrade, and the actuators have recently been updated as well.

That is AWHP. I am not sure on which dyno it is but that was at 1.2 bar, not 1.1bar as mentioned. I run the car daily at 1.1bar.
