It sounds awesome and pulls hard!!! I like the more linear feel with a 3.6. No lag like in a turbo

Well drove it about 60miles today and it felt pretty good. Really quick and almost no lag. It sputters a little, but I think the remapped ECU it adjusting to the new parts... I'll probably get a dyno run in next week. Still need to do some minor tweaks to it before I'll be totally happy...plus I have to get used to some of the new sounds, but it makes the PSE sound 10 times better!

Here are some pictures of the test run before we put everything back on...

Step on the gas...

Then ZOOM!

Let's see...

Took it to the track and it held up under those stressful driving conditions. So far the car is driving really well. The sound from the SC seemed to have calmed down a bit, not as loud as when it was new. It's still noticable though. Have not Dyno'd the car yet, I think there might be an issue with Dynoing a Tiptronic. Any know?

So far I like it a lot. The power is smooth and it pulls really well. Gave a few Akkurat customers a ride and they seemed pretty impressed with the power increase.

Man Drooling..... Now I really can't wait until my car gets out of the body shop. Kirb I did not know your car was Tip. Where do you feel the most difference in power is in relation to RPM.

I feel the most difference around 3500RPM, but there isn't a 'kick' like on a manual car that has an SC. With the Tip the power is so smooth and linear, it just spools up SO FAST! Man, talking about it makes me want to go for a drive now!
