OK I am in the middle of getting some replacement twins but now that I have read about 9BASE3's problem I am getting confused. I have a **** load of oil in the IC piping and even more blowing off out of my HK$ blow off valve. I am also smoking like a chimney, usually at low rpm or down shift. On top of all this my intake filter and air box is soaked in oil. I am adding like 1 QT of oil a week now. I can't stop driving it because I need it to get to work. What are your thoguhts?

I am going to add a boost controler once I replace the turbos but I am also thinking of taking the Mid-pipe off so I don't boost spike. I wish I have the money for a the AEM computer. I haven't heard anything bad about them. Thanks for the heads up. FD3boost, so you say I am ok and won't blow up? I am sure I am will be pushing it if i add the boost controller.
