Richard - I do, I also think it depends on your flash though. Since I have an upsolute, I am a little underwhelmed so... I have heard better results with the GIAC but, I look at it this way:

Upsolute $650 + WG $400 = 1050 < 2-3K for another flash

I dont also value the K16s if they fail, I will just upgrade and throw the WG's on there. I really like the higher boost earlier, I wish the 1/4 mile times reflected how much stronger it feels. I just wouldnt want someone to destroy their turbos because I said it was a good upgrade.

Bottom line I like it but everyone says it will kill the k16s sooner than with out...

Cohare did you get any instructions and just out of interest was your EVO kit labelled as high boost kit for K16s ? vs k24s

Nice run cohare. I was guessing that low 11's would NOT happen. I just tightend my stock actuator rod and it does help hold boost and increase max boost slightly. You are also right about feeling a broader and punchier torque curve. I ran a 11.91 at 119.9 but my car isa tip. The launch is the hardest part in a six speed. Still a nice time and glad you had fun. Nice low dollar tweek. Enjoy.
