I think the majority of the confusion is because on stock TTs it doesnt affect the peak HP as much as it does have an affect on boosting the mid range HP and torque. In my opinion thats where a stock turbo can give the greatest benefit in terms of the butt dyno.

I also think that the turbo does get faster, after doing a few track events, Im noticing that Im reaching redline faster than before, now I know what some people will say that Im entering faster and exiting faster, but none the less, it just seems like its more willing to pick up speed.

That's the DIY price. I paid about $200 (2 hours shop time).
