So long story short, but I've emailed Kinugawa and they said their wheels can be installed by anyone. I also spoke with the guys from Turbo Labs of America (tons of YouTube videos) and they've said in not so many words that the popular turbo rebuilders out there are doing nothing more than these wheels for their stage 1 setups. It's the stage 2 that's more elusive, proof being that M5 guys (ages ahead of us in terms of mods and power levels) are still experimenting with stage 2. With that said, Turbo Labs said they'd do a stage 2 for $1600, so after seeing what they've done in the N54 world, I'm likely going to give them a try.
