I think a lot... I can't hear the turbos spool, or kick in or the BOVs in any video the guy has posted.

Careful, or you might rustle his jimmies again if he ever sees this comment

. According to him, and I quote "I love the rear mount because it gives an awesome sound out the rear of the car."

Turbo lag in remote or rear mounted set-ups is rediculous! Not to mention an intake routed down by the rear wheel. That, and what about the turbine casing getting freakin hot, then splashed with cold water in the rain......

Fixed for accuracy.

I am still laughing at the MPG claims, I feel like even with a little common sense he would realize it is not boosting his MPG by some crazy factor but at most allowing it to remain the same (if staying out of boost).

Yeah, you don't have to be an engineer to realize that there's no way those numbers are right.

Lol, its because the injectors aren't the OEM size.

And, you have to be a rocket scientist with one of those new fangled things called a calculator. Or you're forced to use your abacus.

I enjoyed his reply when he said he drove like 20 miles just after filling up and filled up again and it was clearly 40+mpg so his gauge is correct.

Yeah, but he also claimed to have verified the numbers by doing the math at the gas pump. He's convinced he's right with the kind of conviction only the truly stupid can muster.

Maybe he doesn't know how to do math correctly.

I don't think the car looks "terrible" or anything. Not what I would do, but not terrible. The guy on the other hand sounds kinda rude. Disable vet plates, so I'll reserve judgment.
