Feels good but I still have not really opened it up yet. Just some pulls in 2nd gear. I am running an open down pipe so it is very, very loud and I can't stand driving it like that. I am having a hard time finding a exhaust shop willing to fix the welds on my test pipe so I can conncet the exhaust....the whole 'it is illegal not to have a cat" thing.....stoping by a speed shop this afternoon to see if they are willing to do it.

But the car boosts right to 5psi and seems to hold fine, hard to tell since 2nd gear goes by so fast. I can give a better opinion after I get the exhaust done and some more time to drive it.

The great thing is that the car runs perfectly normal. If I stay out of boost it is just like it used to be. It should be no problem to use as a daily driver.

It was just luck that I got to keep my fogs. The bracket that holds the fogs came like 2mm from my intercooler piping. I 100% sure that I was going to lose them so I am thrilled everything fit
