Nice man.. I love there exhaust but I'm nervous the exhaust note will be just as low as my perrin.. Not that I like obnoxious but I don't like overly quiet either

You'll like it mellow when cruising for long distance but comes to life when you're on the gas to pass, along with the sound of the GT turbo spooling up.

I haven't driven my car much yet, but I did notice that it's MUCH quieter than before. I have the non-resonated Milltek catback. Maybe I should go 3".

On another note, the oil scavenging pump is pretty audible. Is this normal?

In terms of getting power to the ground.. @Dinko how are the 235's holding up to the increase in horsepower and torque? I just purchased the same wheels as you in 18's but I'm not sure if I should get 235, 245, or 255. Once I get my tax return I should have the turbo kit paid off and ready to install. The price per tire starts taking large jumps as you go above the 235's. Lastly for the guys that installed on your own did you perform the install then bring the vehicle over to @ptuning or is the base map sufficient for good. The tune is the most important thing but I don't want to have to tow it to @ptuning. I'd rather calmly drive to them

As you know I don't have the turbo on yet, but I'd say 245 square or 225 front 255 rear is ideal for increase in power. That way, you'll have combinations of power and handling. I am running 245 square and I plan to keep it that way even after the turbo install

My 235's (18's) are able to put the power down, then again I have sticky tires. The base map I received was really good. I used two gas tanks on the base map and the car didn't have any troubles.

[Dinko]

The 235's are holding up very well. With the weather currently being as temperamental as it has been, warm days with sticky tires are amazing. They can hold the torque just fine. Cold days not so much. They turn into hockey pucks and you'll slide around when trying to put down power. Sadly, here in VA, we've had more cold days then warm as of late.

Whenever you're ready to purchase our turbo system, we'll provide you with a good base map. If you go with our recommended fueling package and everything gets installed correctly per our installation manual, then I honestly don't see why you couldn't make a round the world trip before visiting us for a complete dyno tuning session.
