Hi guys,

Short answer: Yes.

Truth is, my title claims this is Stage I. Sam was confident enough in this that he sent Stage II turbos, so it's actually a Stage II setup. Like you, I was wary of a boost out of range of my everyday driving. Well, it's almost immediate, and there doesn't appear to be any loss pre-boost.

I'm having my cake and eating it; slice-after-slice.

Here's a VERY short and non-authoritive clip.

First is a 1/4 throttle run up the gears in DS from first, and then I slow down and do it again at 1/2 throttle. I think I cautiously rolled back a bit because it hangs in second a bit long, but you get the idea. The second one chirps it a bit in second. You can see the traction light flickers on. Cold roads, and unsafe, as you can see.

What's impressive is not only the immediate power, but the firm shifts.
