installed some goodies

So I got my HKS Carbon TI exhaust and downpipe installed along with a turbo XS man. boost controller and an APS cold air intake.
First off the HKS exhaust sounds great...its prolly not the best HP gains from an exhaust but its not too loud and has a nice deep growl. The Aps cold air intake is awesome, it looks almost like its a stock piece and sounds increddible. You can really hear the turbo spool and the stock BOV is decently loud with it in. The turbo spools alot faster now and comes on stronger. I am running 1.5 bar boost on 91 octane and gained about 12hp (not the afore metioned 121, my fingers of fury misfired)...
was hoping for more power...but overall i am very happy with these mods....there is much more to come soon

You gained 121 HP?

I have the same exhaust, dowpipe, and I have the HKS rs intake. I don't think just by adding a MBC I would have that much power.

Looks more like 9hp from the dyno chart.

Maybe he meant 12whp. Or he could be running massive amounts of NOS.

He also posted on SoCalEvo.net and said 12awhp. So, I dont know. It's probably 12.

1.5 bar is only 22.35 psi. I do not think you will blow a headgasket on just 22 psi of boost. (maybe the .35 will just kill it!) Stock head gaskets with stok head bolts will take 22 psi with ease. Now if the car is detonating then things change. Yes you can blow a head gasket then.
