Thanks! Cant wait to install and and really feel the potential of the setup... Its still necked down to 2" at the manifold.

I also forgot to mention the charge pipe to the intercooler. It doesn't show in that pic, but I reclocked the turbo 180 degrees out from where it was, so the outlet was pointing towards the ground (slightly at an angle really). Anway I came off it with a 90 and then forward up to another 90 to the intercooler. Keeps the engine compartment clean and less tubing around the turbo now that its running under the car. This will also leave more room for the compound setup.

The results? Boost is the same, it spools maybe slightly slower on the way up to 10lbs but not much at all. I do get a little turbo bark now when i let off if its making at least 15lbs off boost. Not too good for the turbo but it sounds cool! Also the pull once the turbo spools up is awesome! The butt dyno confirms there is a pretty big difference. I'm pretty sure its not wishfull thinking, it really pulls stronger!
