Divexxtreme - I am trying to replicate your setup

Divexxtreme - I am trying to replicate your setup that netted the
11.6 ET @ 126 mph since I also have an 01TT and have been running 103 for about a year on my 100% stock car. I like the idea of keeping the k16's and have resigned myself to changing out the exhaust (had originally hoped the stock was not holding me back too badly, but it appears they are quite restrictive after all. Any help here would be most appreciated:

1/ I called my local GIAC dealer in San Diego (All German Auto), and he has not heard of the "Hammer" version of the software. Any differances? - I noticed that you used the "hammer" version of stage 2 when posting the 11.6 ET @ 126 mph. Would this be the same exact program as the standard stage 1, with just exhaust creating the stage 2" level of tune?

2/ I have been trying to figure out which exhaust you used - I see the EVO /Milltek on the EVO site and like the Original Equipment design that uses heat shields and the design philosophy of a quiet cabin interior. Yet, no one seems to be using it and instead is using the Fabspeed, which appears to use the old fashioned "Glass Packs" when I see the "Loud" version photo, and I remember years ago how they just got louder over time as the stuffing blew out. If you could tell the exact exhaust you used, it would be great.

3/ EVO intake - I still cannot figure out why this would net any gain at all since the turbos keep increasing RPM (and suction) until they reach full boost at the output side. It seems like the turbos would compensate much the same way as high altitude operation - spin faster to meet target boost. What do you think? - I really do not like the cotton gauze filters since they let a lot more dirt in and all the MAF issues with over oiling.

Great Run!, thanks
