Ok, just got back from a good drive. Turbo is a bit louder, but nothing that much. No CEL's, low end seems to pull harder. Didn't do any high speed runs. Biggest thing I noticed was the RPM charge pipe was just barely warm. If i remember correctly the stock plastic pipe got quite hot. Somebody please correct me if i am wrong. One thing I will say, please check your charge pipe for metal burrs. I had a pretty good size one on the inside where the sensor goes through. Not sure if it would have come off, but if it did and got sucked into the engine, well that's probably not gonna be pretty. Glad I saw it and removed it.
