i think they don't feel as fast as they are -they are kind of deceptively quick they don't have that turbo kick in the back as the boost comes in . much more a progressive power - they just pull and pull and pull.. also out of the power band i think the vr is quite sluggish, but in the power band they are awesome and they have the best sound of any hatchback i've ever been in!!!!!!!!!!! mofo - you should have taken him out in it for a "spin"!!

i've had mine for 4 years!! bought totally standard one owner from new on 72,000 miles when bought, now on 105,000 and still going strong like this : now it looks like this : - and from this : - to this : -
if it is the first time you have done it it will probably take longer than that :-( first time i did mine it took about half a day - but i worked very slowly and surely...(and still blew up my ecu :@ ) now that it's been on and off a couple of times i did it much quicker this time - only took about 3 hours
yeah - i have had the manifold for over a year!!!!! i put it on, took some photos, and then blew up the ecu, trying to get it working ..... :-| it has been in my house till this weekend - now it works!!!!!
