              first impression: much much nicer then the pure open downpipe.
              second impression: a stiffer/higher PSI spring would make for less adjustment on the EBC, but tuning it in has now become fun.
              third impression: JESUS CHRIST!!! i've never been in a car that drove that smooth. accelleration is constant & so purely smooth. PSI is the same @ any point in the range, no more variences @ all. ROCK SOLID PSI!
              I must say for the record.... external wastegate is one of the things i'll never get rid of or go back... the time & money invested was well worth it. I've yet to flange the exhaust & hook it up decently again but soon enough im going to make a section i can remove of the piping for track days
              SOOOO MUCH QUIETER NOW.

              i'll shut my pie hole & post pics now

                          Great work, let's see how the weld holds. Hope it holds up well.

                          Also, what radiator is that you are sporting?

                              Very sweet ryan. Couple questions.

                              1: how much clearence do you have inbetween the wg and rad?

                              2:what psi are you running daily?

                              3: does that 1 red spark plug wire add more power? ( yes I was joking)

                              You must be wearing shoes because the cements starting to get cold

                                you want your WG spring to be within a few psi of your "low" setting on the EBC. for example i have a 9psi spring and "low" is setup for 10psi.
