Got mine in/on today. Not 100% sure it will stay. Reminds me of my friend's Scooby or EVO. I'm not sure what I think, but it's definately a different sound venting to atmosphere. If that's what you're used to in a turbo... and you believe that's what all turbos should sound like, go for it.

It's a beautifully milled piece and a brilliantly simple design (using the existing wastegate solonoid and all). The R56S needs a dose of charcter and this might be a piece of the puzzle.

Heck, there are people out there that have complained about the supercharges whine... so to each their own. Know what I mean?
