No suggestions, but a comment: gold wheels on that are going to look sublime. Post pics, post install!

I never really notice the pops to be specifically louder with the sport cats. Just the sound level overall.

I don’t notice a differing throttle response. Turbo lag felt minimal as it was with the manual as long as you are in the right gear. It actually felt worse with the tune. But I think this is more because it’s reaching a higher boost which I think takes just a little longer and also it really kicks, so you notice that jerk. It’s not as quite as smooth as stock. I run stock at the track for now for that reason. Well, stage 0, not stock.

No, and I’ve explained this in other posts, but the Cargraphic doesn’t work 100% of the time. PSE button does. Also, PSE is built in vs separate controller. Maybe I could map to steering wheel, but only at the expense of what’s already mapped there, which is surround view, and I’m not changing that. Plus, PSE button has a light for visual feedback. It’s near impossible to hear the difference between valves open/close with road noise and the top up if I’m off throttle. So, in that case, with Cargraphic, I was always blipping the throttle to try to check open/close. I never have to do that with the PSE button. I ran Cargraphic for 14k miles and the tune for almost 20k miles. Cargraphic is fine for what it is, but from a user interface standpoint, the tune is just better.

I did. Had them made to the width and offset of the GTS wheels.

I'm not sure. Here are the GTS/Turbo S wheel specs and the GT3 wheel specs. The widths and backspacing are different. I'm not sure how to compare backspacing and width differences. Maybe someone else can chime in. This is the company I had make my wheels. It took 45 days and the transaction went smoothy. The workmanship and fit was spot on. https://forzaaa.com/collections/gall...gts-targa-2021

gt3 wheels would technically bolt on, but they’d extend over the wheel archs (poke) quite a bit.

i have a set of forged gt3 style wheels in GTS fitment for sale here.

Gap is easily adjustable on any plug.
I believe what you are asking is whether a colder plug is required when the boost is increased. To my knowledge it is not with the stage one calibration, not sure about the more aggressive levels.
