It is larger than expected, but looks great. I have zero idle issues, and it is as good if not better than stock. It only makes a whooosh when you make boost (around a bar and up), and the sound is great. The problem I have is that I can't stay out of boost now .

Im guessing its the dual port, Does it help with the boost surge,in my case its mostly when im in 3rd gear and i start building boost and let off somewhat quickly, happens in 5th alot too.

I really haven't really noticed it as much, but haven't really been driving on "fast" roads. I'll go out on some tomorrow and give it a good test. It isn't louder than stock until it blows off at high boost, and even then its not bad. With the windows up you have to listen for it.

I tried two others including HKS before I got the APS. I have absolutely no problems with idle or stuttering and it sounds great. Pics in the links below...........

You'll love it. No issues at all. Idle is fine, at part throttle it acuates sooo nice. After I took off the greddy type s (with spring mod) and put on the APS my boost went up 1.5psi. The Greddy must have been leaking. It's like it was supposed to come on the car.
