turbosystems.info turbo upgrade? 140hp+

Hello, while I was searching around to replace my turbo return line leak, I came across this site for turbo upgrades. Has anyone had any experience with these guys from Lithuania? They seem to have a bolt-on for my M57 that would offer an extra 140hp boost without any other hardware changes. If this is true I might consider upgrading my stock ones.

If you're going to look for power, just go for a delete and tune. Huge gains of power.

As far as the turbo- never heard of them. Look at AArod's site, and if you want hybrids, please get known manufactured hybrids, and the known guys that make them have hybrids that are on cars for 50+k miles with no issues. Go for a known group that makes them... I can't stress that enough.

Not surprising, I haven't heard of everything! IS there a circle in which they're well known? Genuinely curious, ass I'm always casually looking at potential upgrades. You know how it is!

I wouldn't upgrade both. Just do the Lp turbo. Our Hp turbo does just fine and gets bypassed high rpm so you don't see much gains but power coming in later which won't translate to that instant power we get down low. But I agree with the above tims turbos is what I was going to do when my turbo dies or if I feel like I need more power.

This picture might explain it better:

Thanks for all the info guys. I was quoted 1050 euro shipped from Lithuania. I know these guys aren't that big in the states but from looking around social media and the like, they seem to be pretty reputable in euro.

I’m sure they are a good company. €1,050 Euros equals To about $1,160 US Dollars but the turbos look completely custom. Are they a direct bolt on to the Stock M57 exhaust manifold?
