Yea, it came with a lot more than I was expecting which worked out really well. All those little parts add up real fast if you have to buy them new.

That's a great deal for those parts, where did you get those parts from?

No problems so far. The only issue I have is a CEL from the test pipe. Other than that it runs great, tranny is holding up just fine.

If you do the swap and are worried about the power just get it tuned for a smaller amount of torque and HP. Just because the power potential is there with the new turbo doesn't mean you have to use it all. =)

excellent point sir

but if im not gonna go full out with the power, i think i would rather save some time and money just get the tune and maybe exhaust/intake upgrades though.

still though, excellent point lol

If you are worried about it just stick with the factory cat and O2/Downpipe. I would guess that would put you right around 300 whp/300 tq if not a little lower. And have them detune it a bit.

I went back and forth for a month and then one night I was feeling ballsy and said screw it and bought all the parts.

you cant use the stock o2, but i will be using the stock downpipe to keep the car slightly quieter.

You can use the evo stock O2. Even with the O2/downpipe and test pipe the car isn't really louder. At idle it has a bit more rumble but it's very minimal, if I put mine next to a stock one you probably would never notice. On the gas the exhaust is no louder than factory.

i said you cant use the stock one, meaning the stock RA o2 housing. I know you can use the EVO one.
