Default It depends on what you are looking for. For stage 3 they should be fine

for stage 3+ there are better options for the money.

Stage 3= PJK04 turbos on stock block

Stage 3+= K04/ Hybrid, RS6 K04, or GT Turbos
and/ or 2.8/ rs4 heads/ cams/ rods, etc...

Default I run them on my Stage 3- with no problems...

They seem to work a bit better than stock, but they are very well made (no plastic parts, and nice welds). I got mine for $400 slightly used, but I've seen the new on eBay for around $650. (compared to $1300 for AWE's). Another good thing about the IPPs is that they use all stock hoses, mounting and shrouds - It's a direct swap. If you are staying under stage 3, and if you can get a good deal on them... I'd say go for it.

Default RE: I decided to go for the IPP

With all you experience folks' positive comments, I decided to go for it.... I lodged a deal with the a guy in AZ sell it at $500 for a very slightly used IPP Cooler. He said, he only ran for around 1500mils and that was about it..

I'm yet achieved Stage 3 at this stage but merely stage 2 with bigger injectors but still K03... Believe I can ease my heatsoak problem on summer days after installed the IPP... The good thing I like about it is, the set up is very easy for installation.. merely plug and play.

Thank you for all your inputs to trigger my decision.
