your turbos are located right on the inside of your fenderwalls, on the bottom of your motor. They're not really visible if you're just looking into the engine bay. Also, have you considered upgrading turbos. I mean, why not? you're going to have to dump money into new oem turbos which aren't cheap either and all the labor or DIY. If you wouldn't mind more power, might want to think about it. These are very nice!

Here's a good selection of turbo upgrades for you. Should keep you busy for awile.

The most popular around here tend to be the JimWolfTechnology and the PE(Power Enterprises). The HKS and others are ok too.

Careful though this isn't an easy job. You'll have to pull the engine to swap those out. Be prepared or find a good shop. While you're doing that though you might want to consider doing other upgrades as well like larger intercoolers, hard pipe kit, larger radiator(you'll need it eventually especially with larger turbos), larger fuel injectors, maybe some tranny stuff(lighter flywheel, lighter one-piece driveshaft, N/A differential, different limited slip system).

Once you start you cant stop!! lol
