It turned out just perfect! On low rpm it is deep and not loud at all, but when driving it seriously, it turns heads. Also, there has been a significant gain in performance, turbo finally spools up as it should, but i also think that there is a increase in boost, which worries me a little bit, because i dont know how much did it go up, since i only have stock gauges.

Awesome! That's great to hear.

What you're experiencing with the increased boost is boost creep, and can happen when you open up the exhaust post turbo. As long as you're running the stock ECU, it should keep you under the fuel cut limit, which "should" be enough to keep your AFR's in check and ok.

A boost gauge and wide band O2 sensor are certainly useful tools to check things out.

Awesome video & nice driving!! Sounds good too.

The board doesn't support embeding videos, so the link is just fine.

Yeah I enjoyed the video too. Jealous actually, because we're having a real lame winter.

I wanted to pull my hair out last few weeks... We had a record snowfall for my city, biggest in last 117 YEARS! Chaos lasted for 4 days, and I, being a long haul semi driver, was stuck in snowstorm in Poland... i was soooooo pissed... So for now, i only had 2 snow joyrides this winter. :)
