I've driven her for 2 days now.
Totally satisfied. Gobs of power down low. In 4th at 3,000, give a little throttle, get 3psi, and she goes very, very well. At WOT I managed to hit and record a high 30psi, I think that was in 3rd also. I'm mixing a little race gas to hit ~ 96 octane
Going up a very lng and steep incline in 3rd gear, slowly squeeze the throttle and she starts to go. At 4K power comes in a hurry. By the time I'm >22psi the car squashes me into the seat. Very different from the smooth rush of power of prior state.
Thing is, even though I have more displacement to drive the turbo, I need more revs for full steam. Torque peak now ~ 5,500, up ~ +500 rpm. But there is so much more power.
Still running through the 2.5" exhaust. Everyone knows she needs at least a 3". That is going to be fabricated and installed in Jan07. Car growls now. The 3" should make it thunder
