actually those gauges have a warning sound to them, i don't monitor them all the time but, when something is wrong with my car, one of the gauges beeeepppp!!
I was driving down the road one day and my water gauge just went off "BBBEEEEPPP" and i took a look at it and saw that it was over 110 degrees.. i looked at my stock gauge cluster at the engine temp gauge and it still normal.. so i pulled my car over and popped the hood and saw my upper water hose blew out and alot of water was just spitting out. before i shut the car off, i looked at the engine temp gauge and it still said normal but the defi water gauges was just beepping away. that gauge help me out and kept my car from over heating.
the turbo gauge also helped me from boosting over 1.5.. it beeps at 1.6 bar. when i am tunning my car, i am trying to adjust the boost controler, so i set the gauge to give me warning signals at 1.6. they all help me out so i don't think that the gauges are a waist of money
plus you have to sit in the car to look at it.... they are not a over kill... everything i buy i use. if i don't need it or use it, i just get rid of it.
i am also painting the hood with whatever color i pick. i don't care much for the carbon fiber look,,, i wanted something lighter.

i don't know yet.... all the pipes and adaptor are staying on the car since the turbine side or aft side of the turbo is about the same size of the T67 25g.

You can re-use all the pipes.
The 25G will just drop in.
There is enough "play" in the IC pipes/hoses to compensate for the larger compressor.
The uppipe adapter and downpipe will work fine, because the exhaust housings are interchangable.
Which 20G do you have anyways?
TD06S L2 20G with 8cm^2 or with 10cm^2?
I am currently using the turbo you want and want to try a smaller one.
Let me know.
