What I mean is, when the boost comes on it comes fast and strong and it feels so good you don't want to let it go.
My peak boost was 8.1 psi on the dyno. My boost gauge read a little higher today but I believe the dyno gauge more.
I also have the Crawford plenum and Fujitsubo exhaust.

I arrived in Hawaii Monday night. Beautiful place with too many dam Gs! I saw more Gs yesterday then I'd see in a month in Jax.

haha, on an average night i can count at least 2 or so G's on the road. If I cruise it, there's way more G's to find. it seems like alot of people are giving up their old ricer cars in exchange for a G. HIN should be interesting this weekend. ...doubt I can go 'cause Gfren is not into that kinda stuff.

lol
but seriously
if you were given the kit for free by tn im sure they would not like you selling it
kinda like a slap in the face. i know i would feel that way if someone i gave something to for free to use on their car and they turn around and sell it i wouldnt be to happy.
i say install it and go for it. and then if your not happy take it off.
a lot of people dream about goin fi with a deal like you got. take advanage of it
you wont be disappointed.

Yeah 130 to 140. I never did a dyno before so I couldn't tell you what I was putting down with just the plenum and exhaust.
$16 is a steal since you usually pay about $100 per hp on average, if you're lucky.

Russ i know you're kinda in a "transition period" but if you get a chance in the next few weeks, perhaps you could grab a few sound clips of your setup.....
i'm trying to get a feel for how the TN kit sounds with the Fuji. i imagine with the exhaust being routed thru all that piping and then thru the turbine it would be much quieter than my setup now (headers, cats, Fuji Y-pipe and Fuji exhaust)
PS - you're car has been inpiring me since i joined Driver, keep up the good work man
