To tell you the truth I have never drive a turbo car until now (unless you count my first car ever 1985 Chrysler Lebaron 2.2L Turbo way back in the day lol). When you step on the GO pedal there is a second of lag or so but then you hear this big whoosh of air and it launches you into the seat and sucks your eyeballs out the back of your head lol

That was the plan originally, right now I have everything setup to run, and then I will make the minor modifications here and there such as moving the signal towards the front of the car. For now the wastegate is set to 7lb's but I'm only seeing 4-5 because I need the correct size band clamps thus I'm sure I'm getting some boost leaking here and there, plus I haven't taken it up that high in RPM's yet. The engine is built to support as much as I can throw at it in which I plan to up the boost as close to 20 as I feasibly can on pump gas and alky injection. But for now the few pounds I'm getting feel amazing, by the time I adjust to the power level of the car and it starts feeling slow I should have everything ready to up the boost

Stealthy from the front, not as stealthy from the back.

After I get my loose ends tied up I plan to make a cover for the rear to keep prying eyes away as well as dirt and road junk.

Will your setup pass inspection / emissions?
I was looking into the STS setup and worried about going through inspection without a muffler. I guess I could throw a small bullet on there and call it a day though.

You mentioned that you're gonna put a rear cover on to protect it from road stuff . . . I noticed the air filter right off the turbo, I was thinking of doing something similar to my Incon kit and avoid running the two long hoses from the turbo to the front filters . . . but I was worried about it picking up road ****. How do you plan on enclosing the filter yet still allow it airflow?

K&N makes a filter sock that repels water and junk, it is very efficient. Also I have a 4in 90degree bend that will place the filter up under the car a lot tighter, similar to the way STS does but not the same. Go to K&N's website and look up filter socks, I'll post a link to it later.
