I've been getting a few emails here/there on how the car's doing.
I have not been under my car (hood or chassis) since I installed the turbo kit May 11 (the day before dyno day). I mostly drive the car to events on the weekends, as there's always something going on in Austin.
I average 17mpg city when shifting conservatively.
The car's temperature runs at about the 1/3 tick, same as stock (I see a longer time to heat up to the 1/3 tick mark now).
I passed emissions with flying colors a few weeks back, both idle and the 2000rpm cruise...with no cats & 30# injectors.
I'm running the Stage 1 928turbosports kit with the following options:
T67 DBB (dual ballbearing) turbocharger, which is water cooled & added to the installation complexity, but worth it. Also, I have the Intimidator exhaust that people hate in photos but love in person: and it sounds incredible! Other than the boost controller conservatively set at 5.5psi, no other changes have been done.
I'll install an intercooler over the fall/winter, just ran out of time this summer...it was hot as hell too.
