I didn't feel an increase in the turbo spool. I just noticed that it doesn't taper anymore.

That's the main reason I want to get aftermarket pipes. I taper a little bit up high and it might be a leak, but everything seems fine. With a Hallman that is.

I will have to pay more attention to the initial spool up and let you know. The turbo is louder and so is the stock BOV. They can both be heard pretty good now.

Here are some close up pics of my lower IC pipes. I did this since i dont think I posted an update when I installed them. Anwyayz, I did notice about 1.5 bar of increase when I installed just the Lower I/C pipe. BTW: Dont forget to use t-bolt clamps or else, BOOM......I had to learn the hard way as all the others have.

It still tapers at the turbo hotside, but it is a larger size pipe than the OEM (coming straight off the turbo).

Kit didn't come w/ t bolts, even though it said it does. Granted, I did get mine for $40 cheaper than anyone else has advertised plus free shipping, so I assume that is why I did not receive t clamps.

Install took around 3 hours. About an hour taking off all the plastic clips holding the shroud that is under the engine and then it took a while getting to the top bolt holding the outlet to the turbo. Other than that, very easy.
