yeah by being removed and replaced with something better..
dont forget that high boost levels dont mean more power.. you can make heaps of power still running close to stock boost levels.. it's all about the FLOW

on STOCK turbos..
you can polish a turd all day long.. you'll just end up with a shiny turd...

Hold up.I have just made a custom Exhaust manifold for a single turbo set up.installed the single turbo ran boost at different levels only to find out
1. I still run just about the same as i used to with my stock twin
2. drank more gas
3. High underhood heat
4. blew exhaust manigold gaskets by the week
5. the single turo blew up after inhaling some debris
6. I am back to stock because face it who wants to go through all that hells when toyota already gave you a good platform to build on
I am at 234Hp according to that Gtech pro meter.

The turbos on my 1GGTEU are a pair of Blitz BAG turbos, as far as I can tell from the Japlish on their site (before they removed it) they are high-flowed CT12's, so I will let you know how they go.
The have virtually zero shaft play so looks like the previous owner got something for their roughly $2600 worth!
