Craig,
Your car is both stunning and menacing, and you've just convinced me to also paint my HRE black one of these days.
Btw, I was browsing through your pic album and noticed that you've the Gemballa Powerkit (sport intake system) installed, what is your impression on the performance of this upgrade?
Currently I'm also putting in this same powerkit along with the Gemballa 3rd intercooler, my car is already at GIAC Stage 3 but it's a tip. I'm wondering what kind of overall improvement on my existing set-up should be expected with this new upgrade?
Your input would be greatly appreciated.
Peter

I don't know the precise hp increases for the various turbos. I have heard quotes ranging from below 10 hp to near 30 hp.

Sorry for the late reply, I just returned from lunch appointment.
Thanks for the input. I'm running the K24 turbos so hopefully the larger intake piping will add some visible improvement.
Tom and Arling over at Lucent are doing the installation for me, and apparently for a tip additional fabrication is needed as the kit was originally intended for 6speed. They're great guys...always making sure everything is done properly.
