Kirby, as we said, we gotta find some safe place+time to really compare a stock TT against the SC, at different powerband range.
It'll be an interesting study.

HeY KIRBY, CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE YOUR IMPRESSIONS ON IT, BEC. I AM ALSO CURIOUS and am thinking of pulling the trigger on the s/c TOO..

ALso thanks for the heads up on the smog legality issue of the s/c i hope it passes and it gets carb approval, that is one of the main issues for me..

also it was glad meeting you , your car looks great and hopefully soon i could be able to ride in an s/c car before i pull the trigger on one

So far I really like it. Unfortunately, I don't think I'm getting the most out of it because…

A. I'm still learning how to drive it and use the power correctly...shifting at the right times.

B. Few minor things (which always happens at events!) need adjustments. At the track a hose was loose and I didn't have full boost. At German Autofest the water pump was not working at 100% and again I didn’t have full boost. But, even without full boost the car pulls pretty good, but you can definitely tell the difference.

I’m going to try and finally get he car Dyno’d this week and I’ll post results. I’m really curious to see what my car is doing, being a Tiptronic Tranny.

I really like what the SC did for the sound of my exhaust. PSE sounded good before but now with the SC, man it rocks!

Gas mileage appears to be the same or slightly better.

I have to run to lunch, but if there are any other specific questions let me know…

Overall I like it and I would do it again without hesitation. It’s really a quality product. Thanks Akkurat and evoms.

Kirby, what's with the oil consumption? One quart from going down to ventura? That's a bit extreme even if you stayed in fourth most of the time, don't you think? Someth to keep an eye on.

Mine consumed two bars for the whole roundtrip, and I was flooring on the way down.

Collin, Thanks for the oil. Oil Level was low to begin with before we headed down to Ventura. I forgot to put a spare quart in the trunk. The SC didn't have anything to do with the low oil. It was user error.

Thanks again

PS - I think it's time you get a V1 Radar Detector.

I think so too. I felt much safer hiding behind you guys with the V1. There are way too many patrols out there.
