My fvd stage 2 really kicks now that I finally changed some cheap forge knock offs for real ones. Boost is now holding 1-1.1 vs .9 and you can feel a big difference. The r/r was a pita though. Next will be the k16/24 hybrids I think these will work best since I prefer low end than high peak hp. I'm tempted to go with cats/ straight pipe combo after that.

 

I didn't think it was that bad. I received some help from a friend, and it really helps if there's 2 of you.
