Bout time! Now bring that baby by so I can give it a proper thrashing. Did you ever find out if there was a new turbo break in? Obviously doesn't matter if you didn't now that you've seen full boost. Call me on the cell Tuesday after 8.

Andrew,

What else did you get besides the upgraded ECU and K24 Turbos????

It seems that a number of board members are getting a GIAC stage III or IV ecu with larger turbos. Assuming the GT2 intercoolers are the same as the stock 996TT, is anything else required to get the 570-600 flywheel hp that everyone is talking about?
