Can the 27won soft TIP gasket be reused when swapping the turbo or is it one time use?
I hope it's reusable I just ordered a W1 and didn't even think about that.

Will the w2 bolt up to the stock down pipe and front pipe ? Do we need that other pipe that replaces the flat stock factory inlet pipe ? Is the stock exhaust after the cat fine for expelling the w2’s juices ? And if you’re running let’s say tsp stage one of phearable 1.5 can this turbo function with it while altering the powerband higher into the rpm range ? And will the red line need to be brought up to get the full potential of the god body W2 thank you

Hard no, unless you plan to just drive it from car show to car show without ever gassing it :)

Several of those questions can be answered directly on the product page

"Can work with any combination of intake, downpipe, intercooler, and inlet pipe"

Average of 100-200 rpm sooner, not much but it's something.

thanks for the reply. i've been looking at some charts of journal bearing vs ball bearing. one of them was showing the bb spooling 500 rpm faster than the similar turbo with journal bearing.

With the W2 installed would you recommend a dyno tune over an e tune on a stock block so you can keep tq numbers low?

Good tuner matters more than dyno vs E in my opinion. I went with etune with drob
