Yup they shipped and showed up really quickly. I just picked up tires for them yesterday and will see when I can get them mounted up. Most likely next week as my schedule has been really busy.

Initial impressions are good, they were packaged really nicely and definitely protected well. The finish looks really nice but I will see once I get some miles to see how durable it is. Overall they seem really good for the money. They aren't Volk's but shouldn't expect that for 1/4 the cost.
What rubber did you go with?

It really is! During normal driving you won't even notice it but as soon as you jump on the throttle you can hear the turbo hissing as it spools and when you close the throttle you get that nice PSSHH sound.

I'll probably be at C&C on Sunday for a bit, kinda a drive from FtL but if you ever want to check it out I'm sure we can figure something out. Ditto to anyone else down here in SoFla who might be curious.

You can hear the spooling a bit here too and this wasn't a "full pull".

Finally got the Sprint P08 filter delivered on Friday! It took a month but was worth the wait and easy enough to drop in. Video mic doesnā€™t pick up all the nuances but the P08 really livens things up, much louder induction noise and throttle feels more responsive too. Highly recommended! :thumbsup:

If you do, let me know - it's getting HOT out there so without prompting I probably won't go to another one until September or October.

Not sure this heat tape does much because its pre-turbo. Would be cool if you are seeing lower intake temps after this though.

Is the charge pipe between the intercooler and throttle body wrapped too?
