black maybe???
Would be nice if it was a glossy black. Most of us are going to be coupling this with aftermarket intakes which have dark glossy silicone hoses. Might look weird having 2 different colored blacks side by side. Eh, maybe it would be alright. I was imagining it would be more natural like the downpipe finish or maybe shiny polished like your exhaust.

My educated guess would be summer. They just released intercooler. They are not in a rush to get this part out. The business aspect of the company comes first. Vincent is not just a good r&d for aftermarket parts. He is also a damn good business man. I think they try to release one product per season. It's smart.

Nothing wrong with keeping the pressure on. :thumbsup:
I want this piece too. Along with the W1. How bad is the added turbo lag with the W1 compared to stock? Scale 1-10. 10 being the worst. I go back and forth with my decision on buying or not.

Considering how boost and turbos are on other cars, there really isn't much lag with it tbh, maybe 500-800 rpm later. It still hits full boost fast as hell, you shouldn't be worried about that at all. Also pulls much harder toward redline rather then falling on its face early.

I am leaning more towards wanting to do it than not. Only other concern is that most seem to run flex fuel with W1. I really dont want to run e85. Is it still worth it without flex? I see that you run flex fuel. I don't see many who don't.

Not as long as a GTX2860 w/.72 A/R would @14psi. Tapered torque and higher HP with less strain on the fuel system and rods.

Based on numbers from DRobs Instagram, most fbo stock turbo si's make ~245 whp on 93. The w1 turbo will get you to ~290 whp on 93. Seems plenty worth it to me.

It would be nice if it can best match the 27won intake and intercooler piping. A touch of orange if possible would be nice for those with orange MAF housings. Also one day 27won oil caps or engine dress up items would be great.
