What difference did you notice w/ the gen 3 turbos compared to the gen 2 turbos?

I have a pair of gen 3 turbos to go on my gen 2, but as far as I am aware, no modding is needed if you have the gen 3 turbo intake piping (bolt spacing different bewteen gen 2 & 3 here)

Between tired gen2 turbos and at-one-time rebuilt gen3's? Enough to justify putting them on if I had them laying around!

They come on boost earlier and more progressively, and they seem happier with >10psi... which killed the gen2's

I didn't have the gen3 intake pipes so I just made the gen2 items work
