Drive-ability question... any idea (yet) on this setup for a daily, and how the mileage is affected (<20mpg?)?
Sounds like the early boost may be a bit much ... maybe I'm interpreting it wrong..

The set up is great for a daily, more power everywhere and no waiting for it.
Mileage is 26 on the hywy good as your average S-box, and a track day with heavy foot to and from ended up at 14mpg. Funny when I think my old 200hp M3 god worse mileage with 1/3 the power.
You're interpreting it wrong, unless you like lag with less power.
Only drawback is it may render other cars you drive boring and slow, and you'll rack up more miles on the turbo wanting to drive it all the time.

There was a lot of traffic and a Cayman in the way so I didn't get as much footage of the Underground Racing Lambo shooting flames as I wanted, or a good run at it.
Also noticed the new ZO6 can't outrun our cars with UMW turbo system, not bad for a car 13 years older, will post that soon.
Hat off to Kevin, his system produces great power reliably and I can now say from experience there's no regret about doing the mods. Best part is telling someone you went DOWN from your x50 K24's to K16's when they ask what's done to it. 2nd and third best is filling up at a normal pump and not having to raise your hood to cool the engine from heat soak so you can get full power back.

Fixing Boost problem
Here's a good fix to the boost problem:

Boost comes on real quick and makes the car much faster all around.
7k trouble free miles on them this summer.
UMW support off the chart.
