Default I know it has been talked about before but I can't find an especific answer.

I know some of you guys are going to hate me for this noob question but here it is:

I bough the rs4 turbos a while back, maybe like 1 year ago, because I wanted to go stage 3 someday, and also knowin that the k03s blow up soon after you chip it, so it lasted me good 30,000 miles. So I had it chipped for a year and now the left side turbo is whinnig hard and lost a lot of boost. So i guess the time has come. But now I'm in a little money crisis, and can't afford $4-$6k that some tunners would charge. Is it possible just to swap the turbos only having the exhaust, piggies and apr chip, and run the car like that for a while until I can save up some money to have it done the right way with downpipes, fueling and all the good stuff?

Default STFA for Stage 3 - (minus) setup. That's what you're trynna do. You'll need inlets and maybe an

MBC, plus possibly a different FPR.
