the difference is definitely noticeable. on a crisp shift (it doesn't even have to be a power shift) I spin all the way through 2nd gear. the vibrations at idle are minimal and I did notice that the engine noise is a bit louder (I'm guessing because the mount transfers vibrations from the engine into the cabin).

all in all, I couldn't be happier with my results though.

Tell us, did you see any increase in boost pressure???? If you go through the gears what is the max you see in 4th and whats it fall to by 6k?

Im glad your happy.

I never really watch boost, but I have the gauge with peak hold and I can see that it isn't spiking any higher than it was before. at 100 mph call me crazy, but I'm more interested in watching the road than my boost gauge.

4th is my new favorite gear but 6th is still so close to my heart. anything putting air through the intercooler pulls so much harder. it's great.

I'm going to try my best to get my old digital camera working so I can video the runs and maybe people can give me pointers. I know my tires are going to hate me.
