Well, I finally had a chance to spool it up today on the way home from work. I am absolutely impressed with the upgrade. It is about 15 degrees here and I was seeing 18-20 pounds of boost everytime. The car throws me back into the seat like it never could before. I am having to relearn how to work the clutch because it performs like a completely different car. It truly wants to go fast even when I am trying to be conservitive. I did not really notice, but my wife claims the engine sounds completely different to her when I am accelerating. I have to give this upgrade an A+ because I was looking for a noticable increase in power and acceleration without compromising the warranty. This spring I plan on adding a cat back exhaust for a little more rumble and then its on to customizing the exterior/interior including powdercoating the wheels and installing subtle racing/rally stripes.

For those that are looking for enough power to really notice the difference, but retain the warranty, this product gets the SPPD seal of approval.

Now I just cant decide where to mount the "Performance Division" decal if at all. I have never been a parts sticker guy, but I was thinking of installing this decal somewhere on the interior of the car or perhaps in the engine compartment.

if you don't want the sticker, I 'll take it, as I am a sticker guy, there is always room in my garage, if not in the engine compartment, whatever you do don't throw it out.
BTW, glad to hear you are liking the upgrade, enjoy
