I've had my car running with my new turbo design since Sunday. It's been quite an experience so far which has had it's ups and downs. Tonight I finally "got on it" for the first time after hooking up the boost controller. The car feels amazingly fast, and I had permasmile for a good 10 minutes or so afterwards.

I will be taking it to the dyno within a couple weeks, so I will see what the power differences are, basically it feels like the old turbo setup did at 18-19 psi, but at only 12-13 psi. Also the new turbo/manifold combination seems much more willing to get up in to boost. It's silky smooth.

I am not 100% happy with the exhaust, as I was rush to finish the project. The exhaust rattles against the rear lower brace, so I will be looking at ways to remedy that. Also, the exhaust is loud as hell, I never expected the single exhaust to be that much louder than the dual!
