Now my stock turbo setup wasn't the most powerful I've seen, but it wasn't the weakest either. Certainly torque-wise it was roughly on-par with other pump gas setups I'd seen locally (
example1,
example2). Anyways, then vs now:
My point being that it is *amazing* how the headwork and kelford cams have woken up this car down low. Its freaking amazing to me! After I put the MAP tubular manifold on the car last fall it got a teensy bit doggy in the 3500-rpm area but honestly that is gone now and the car feels very very responsive. Even at only 22psi it just goes goes goes!
