I'm pretty sure the K16 before and after flash graph you guys are referring to was my car. I can confirm that I never had an exhaust until a month after I installed my hybrid turbos. All dynos of my car with stock K16s (flashed or otherwise) were done with BONE stock hardware (stock DVs, stock exhaust, stock air filter, stock plugs, etc.).
I was never implying that the website was lying, I was just wondering if anyone had real-world experience with those numbers...you have confirmed it, thanks! That is a great bargain for that much hp

UPDATE on EPL experience. I just went out a little rally from Miami to Naples and I noticed the part throttle is very good now that I had a chance to run it.
On the highway going 80-95mph on the way down to Miami I averaged 24.5mpg
On the highway boosting the crap out of the car upto 150mph, stoplights, inner city, crusing at 90 on the way to Naples I averaged 19.9mpg. Remember I have straight pipes but this is still very very good.

I've never had anything but pump gas in my tank so far (dynos, 60-130, driving around, everything has been on 93). Looking forward to trying the smelly stuff though.

I can confirm the same results. I just dynoed my EPL flash only car..it dynoed 396whp and 480tq on a Dyno Dynamics. So that about 420+ WHP on a Mustang AWD. I am very happy with the results. For those on the fence , i would say go for it ...its awesome.

I just ordered the UMW flash (nothing else yet) as my first mod. Should be all set up by the weekend.
Anything important to know about driving with this? (Break-in period, things to watch out for, etc).
Thanks!

well, I don't know about either being the most popular, but I do know that both gentlemen are the most knowledgeable people I have ever talked to about tuning so I don't think you can go wrong with either. I went with Kevin because he stays with the all German turbo theme which I like. He builds and mods german turbos. other than that, I think going to either would do your car infinite good as you are not likely to grenade a motor with their tune.
