425 whp on a IX with no meth or race gas is pretty unrealistic and far from what the average IX is going to make.
The turbo feels great, spools almost as fast as stock and does NOT run out of steam as it approaches redline like the stocker does. Let's not get carried away though. This is a great upgrade and the car retains very stock like driveabiltiy but it's not a "miracle" turbo.
All in all, I'm very pleased with the performance gains, and would love to get it on a dyno now to see where I stand. Still haven't had too much of an opportunity to play with it. Just got pulled over at lunch time today for not having a front plate. (by the same dyke cop that gave me a ticket three months ago for supposedly rolling through a stop sign around the corner from my condo.....) Didn't get a ticket this time, but I think she's out to get me... Go figure... I'm a 44 year old guy that doesn't race around, but I still get hassled for having a "tuner' car....

I got the 3-4 weeks quote...
I ordered one last Friday - it shipped today. Needless to say, I'm shocked, but happy!
I can only assume they just got a fresh batch of parts.

I'm definately getting one of these.
OT: did you get her badge #? file a complaint.
Wow, I just got mine tuned this past weekend by Chris from AMS. As great as the turbo feels, I think you're expecting too much with this statement.
