Honestly it's perfect. With the turbo kit, it should be basically stock sounding until it's WOT, especially because the kit has a bypass valve not a BOV.
I notice you have the Agency over and front pipe listed for sale on this forum. Were you able to notice any power gains with those mods?

Felt quicker by a little bit but I didn't have it on the dyno.

It's for sale because I sold the car NOT because it didn't work... It worked perfectly and the fitment was great.

Speaking of the new car...

It's a '13 bought lightly used with 3800 miles... It's a lot cheaper than MSRP for a new one.











It needs replacement speakers and tint, but all in due time.

So much for a rental! That's a beautiful Mustang!! How does it compare to the FR-S?

Thanks!

It's a lot different. I do miss how quick and tight the FRS is, HOWEVER this is quick and tight too, just in a different way.
Obviously its more powerful, it does ride better too, but that's because it's longer.
I'd still recommend an FRS to anyone who isn't coming out of a high powered RWD car tho

I bought the car knowing I'd want to turbocharge it because it lacked power in my eyes (last car made 500whp on motor alone)
This is the first year of a new model and it has it's growing pains (you can see it in the issues/TSB forum) I decided, I don't want to get in the situation of this car having some issue that other stock cars are having, but not able to have it fixed because no dealer will touch it because it's turbocharged.

I got the CEL fixed, took off the mods and traded it in on the BOSS this weekend.
