You could run our Billet K16 upgrade. Peak power is very very close to a K24/18G however the billet K16's deliver a much quicker spool and gobs more torque down low. All in all its a much more solid power band.

As to the pic above with the destroyed wheel - catalytic is AFTER the turbo so no there should be no chance of that. It's possible the wheel was overspun and exploded perhaps?

In this specific situation it was not an overspun but a foreign debris or shaft failure due to oil starvation.

I would ask "How were they ruined"
Are the wastegate doors warped? Are the turbine housings cracked in the wastegate port? The wastegate bushings can fail and lock the internal gate.
The K24 has been out since the middle 90's. I have seen very few failures with this housing. Unless, one has been running lean>>high EGT's will crack the internal casting.
If the turbine housings are cracked>>toss them in the scrap pile.

talked to mike again at blouch. he said the wastegate flapper doors/discs were damaged. on one turbo it is very loose, on the other turbo it is missing. he said because the wastegate was always open, that the exhaust gases go in and ruined the flappers. hope that makes sense to you. when i receive them back, i will snap pictures for ya.

No if the flappers were open he was bypassing the turbo. He may have been running with just one turbo boosting and the other spinning like mad trying to help - not good. When he slaps working turbos on there it will feel like a new car
