Whee! more Powa!

Finally got the downpipe and cat delete installed after an epic battle with everything all weekend long. All hose clamps from the turbo to the throttle body have now been replaced (I was peaking at 17psi for awhile now) and my rear o2 sensor disabled.

I want to give a special thanks to Billy and the Lucas crew for the late night Sunday tech support, and shutting off the rear o2. I completely stripped the o2 sensor in the catalytic converter, so I traced the wire back into the car and disconnected it. After a text to Billy, he got ahold of Aaron and they had a solution before I was done turning wrenches.... how f**king cool is that???

Always above and beyond with them!

Car is noticibly quicker, and turbo response time is almost immediate. So between 3.5psi and 3" Perrin DP - cat, I can DEFIANTELY feel the butt dyno numbers reading higher.

+1 for the Lucas crew being the sh*t...

glad to know that the calibrated butt dyno is still giving accurate reading Congrats on the install, sometimes they can be an a$$ pain but worth it in the end to feel and notice the results from your hard work and effort

Seriously!!

It's a little louder, but very tolerable! I wasn't sure what to expect, but the benefit definately outweighs the noise!
