if it's V1, it's going to be damn loud when your decelerating under full vacuum, otherwise, depending on idle speed, you may not be able to hear it. I think in the video's I've seen of them, the cars were idling around 900RPM, which is about 300 more than what mine idles at. At that speed, it's very much more noticeable with the T-trim than at 600rpm.


Like, back when I had the AC in the car, it would be louder at idle with the SQ trim than when the AC was turned off. So that plays into it as well.

If you can get injectors and everything for 1000, I say go for it. That's a damn good steal, I mean there is very little there that could creep up on you, especially if you do the work yourself.

The tuning is usually the important part, and don't listen to these guys. You've been set for quite a while with the stock 260Fwhp, you'll be more than pleased with 350rwhp.

Just remember, when you get that blower strapped on there, it still doesn't make you invincible. There are many cars that you will still be slower than, but that doesn't make it "not worth it"

Not to mention, you can have it upgraded to a T-trim at a later date, for around the same price your buying the whole kit for, and the 42lb'ers will get you quite far on the S-trim.


I say, and this is just my opinion, to go for it, especially with your friends being mechanics, so you'll have their help

You could drop the money for the kit now and buy all the other stuff slowly. I think a lot of people, including myself, are doing it that way.
