All that turbo noises that low end and mid range tq is fuckin awsome. Rotrex setup i made 277whp 200wtq at 8 psi with my gtx2867r i made 323whp 271wtq at 9 psi
That's a pretty big bump in power, and nicely sized on the GTX28. Good choice and numbers.

I think a well-tuned and sized turbo setup can be VERY linear and nice. I think the supercharger was doing it's job for someone who wanted linear power with those power goals, but for someone who wanted more power, the Ptuning kit is wicked.

Edit: What header are you running? I'm curious because it makes zero sense to use the stock header to me, being that there's a pre-turbo cat.
