Well, I will say that the car doesn't scare the hell out of me, so I would have definitely been unhappy with the ESS 445. The torque is great 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, but for me and 100 miles seems to not pull very hard in the upper gears (nice, but as Beedub says "i always want more power.")

I have the P3 gauge coming this week, so I will be able to make sure the AFR's are in-line, as well as being able to check on the boost. I have heard that the intercooler is susceptible to leaks.

It is very drivable. Oil temperatures are 10-15 degrees higher than it used to be, which i think is mostly because of the oil cooler not having a low pressure behind it. I will be fixing that, and showing updates.
