Drives like OEM. 7 psi from 5krpm - 8krpm. My issues are:

- A hose on ITB #4 started coming loose and had to be tightened. This could be due to my worn motor mounts giving the engine a little more flex under acceleration. 30 sec fix and not a big deal at all.
- Bypass valve bracket popped off. I had a friend make another rather than contacting G-Power since I had to drive the car 700 miles the following day. Small part but could have stopped my fun for a couple weeks. Another 30 sec fix once I had the bracket made.
- I get a bit of rattle at idle where the cast manifold vibrates against itself. This is more of a quirk and isn't always present.
- RPM dips occasionally at clutch in. So far over 8000 miles, this hasn't caused the car to stall or even come close. It may have been a pre-existing condition exacerbated by the simultaneous install of catless headers and race-catted section 1.

Basically, zero major issues. No stalls. 108k miles on the car. Breaks loose in 3rd gear. The kit is as near perfect as you will find.
