I'm curious what the cost of your work would be on a set of these as pictured. A cost to benefit analysis would go a long way. Unfortunately, we don't have many "good" options for people that want upgraded twins on the N54. Perhaps start your own line of these as suggested by another viewer. Once again, the cost of your work to make them right, would be important.

It's probably only worth it if you sell them - turbo lab import turbos. Thats the only way we we could be confident of the assembly. You could spec them the way you see fit. ;)

This is a very good video. Everyone knows that going to the China 17T route is a crap shoot. Some guys have great experience and others have blown turbos in the first few thousand miles. When I am ready, I have a set of stock n54 turbos that I will send to you for a rebuild. I feel this is the most cost-effective route, if you want huge power go single.

He has a 13t upgrade on Amazon for a factory upgrade from the 10t (oem). I was just chasing the power he doesn't offer 17t,19t, or 20t options as of yet lol

These are my 17ts I sent to Austin to save my ass... didn't know it was this bad. But I appreciate his effort at trying to salvage my $800 paper weights. Hopefully I get a full summer run lol. Company is Costel Turbo on eBay.

Just to add to this , my viv autosport v3 19tees were perfect, i actually disassembled them to check it out, the only thing I could find not perfect was the o rings, I replaced all o rings with proper viton besides that everything fitted perfectly

the issue with these Chinese turbos for me are the constant revisions. On viv's official ebay store there are like 5 listings for v3 19t "updated" turbos with the same pictures and description but different prices. Like how am I supposed to know which to buy, or which is truly the latest revision (im aware that they constantly update 16,17,19t china turbo's to fix multiple issues like shown in the video)? Its a big risk to take for a lot of people. That being said...I would definitely try these if my stockers blew because they're so cheap

Guys i hear your concerns about the china turbos, all i can say is buy a set from viv have them checked out and fit them, they spool amazing, make proper power and if not abused wil last many miles, when i say abuse, over boosting spikes without proper blow off valves, boosting 30psi , improper pcv systems, improper outlets and inlets the list goes on, single turbo N54s will have les turbo failure simply because they run big turbos as a rule, a big single runs way lower rpm, lower egt’s lower ait’s and in general their internals are either ball bearings or big journal surfaces , but for bang for buck and reliable power the 17/19tees are unmatched, if you guys are still sceptical, go and buy pure turbos for almost 3 times the price, and I will put money on it they won’t outlast the China turbos 3 fold , by the way my 19tees have done about 7k miles on 20 psi and still running perfectly

Most of the upgraded turbo are outsourced to thier spec. But the Chinese manufactures go into the existing parts bin and throw defective parts just to make profit. Cause once its shipped it the Companies problem. In my humble opinion turbo lab should just do a N54 crowd fund to design a bunch of the (more air flow designed) manifolds/ with v-band connections with down pipe as a kit.. Do away with the actual turbo side. They'll sell like hot cakes... Minimal bs all focus would just be on manifolds.. He can outsource v band turbos from an array of manfactures or not at all.
