To me it feels a lot slower than it really is. Perhaps because of this set up, the power delivery is very smooth. I don't stare at my speedometer, but it gets to 90mph, much much quicker. Not a torque bomb kind of feel.

Low end, pre-boost power feels great as well for DD, probably due to the high compression engine, it doesn't suffer too much out of boost. I really like that.

I'm more careful with my car now, and paying attention to everything more closely. There is always a "what if" on your mind, I don't like that part. This car is half DD, and since I enjoy driving this car so much, I end up driving it majority of the time. Hence the conservative boost of 8.5psi intercooled currently.

Been boosted for 5 months, and I already want more power though. Very easy to get in to this vicious cycle. Temperatures are good street driving/spirited back roads, but most concerned about the rear axles at this point.
