13/05/19 11:16 AM13/05/19 11:16 AM #9583 Yeah and it's a fairly cold night too. I love the way it sounds now. I've only gone for a quick drive but the whistle is much better than the stock turbo noise.
13/05/19 01:46 PM13/05/19 01:46 PM #9584 It's the short pipework from turbo to throttle body that makes it spool earlier with less lag You will loose some of that with front mount. Edited 13/05/19 01:47 PM13/05/19 01:47 PM by arronm
13/05/19 02:08 PM13/05/19 02:08 PM #9585 That has something to do with it. I think the cold air helped a lot tonight. Not going front mount for now, as there are way too many hoses on the turbo side, and don't want to go under the car with the pipes. Wta seems to be the go, but the wintery air will be a fine bandaid for a while.

Get a long, uphill onramp onto a highway during the commute. Turbo is cramming air down the engine's throat with intake air temps reading well and truly in the single digits.
