It's funny with my exhaust setup, since i have a catted h with the termis, i don't get that crisp choppy sound (like you might get with a o/r h and a chambered style muffler) but rather a deep bassy lope if that makes sense.
I'm hoping to get some vids up in the next few weeks, so keep your eyes open.

Oh yeah, some blower cams would be the icing on the cake lol! The lope from the cams and the whine of a twin screw...okay now you made me even more jealous lol.

Hahhahahahahahah the thunderhorse 2.1L! Its really funny but I was gonna PM you to let you know you cant use the KB tune with LTs and for a reason I was gonna link you the thunderhorse blowup. That blower has just been fully rebuilt by KB on their dime(wont see any other SC comp doing that). Its badass to see this blower going back into action. Tell thunderhorse to stop by more often.
Really crazy that I also bought my KB 2.1L from an ex-member here(Tim99GT) cept mine had about 2,000 miles on it. I have every single part pictured here my car and its a blast! Be prepared to want forged internals really really bad after the initial fun. And i'm sorry to tell you that at 8-10PSI you wont be able to hear the blower over your exhaust very well at all. I just put an O/R H on my setup and I can pretty much no longer hear my KB and i'm considering taking it off because of that. The exhaust sounds sick and is loud as **** but I really really loved hearing the blower. Dunno what to do.
HAVE FUN, take your time with install if you're doing it and feel free to ask me questions! Bout time we got more KB GTs on here all these giggle juice and centri guys make me feel like my car is in a dark garage all alone haha.

My car is also DSG too haha. I have the 99/01 Cobra rims though. Yeah its gonna be awesome to just turn the key and go too. My install would have been a lot easier had I bought mine new. But I did save $1000 on the total cost of the kit and probably close to $1000 in install fees. What are you getting charged? You're going to love it and I bet your stock bottom end never goes out if you keep it below 10 PSI because you're using an awesome tuner.
I have leaned my car out three times now at 100+MPH WOT because of low fuel pressure due to hitting boost with only 2 gallons of gas in the tank. I highly suggest never ever hitting boost with less than a 1/4th tank of gas. KB says so and I can tell you from experience your fuel pressure will drop, thats very dangerous for the engine. With the BAP on your fuel pump will be getting cranked up to 17 volts under boost, it needs plenty of fuel to keep the pressure up.
As far as the methanol goes I too have been extremely interested in doing this on a PD setup(whether it be this one or another one down the road). You will have to have the blower and intercooler removed and have it tapped at the bottom of the intercooler. This is the only proper way to do it. Spraying nitrous or methanol pre-rotor on PD blowers is useless. It gets burned up from the heat in the case and provides little.
