STUMMEL, yes to all of the above except comparisons: quick rundown: kevins stage 2 z/c, with
ceramic coating, ported/porsche headers/hjs motorsport racing cats/rsr mufflers, 5bar fpr,billet
diverts, ltwt flywhl/clutch. My opinion: very fast and I could pull a stock gt2, or x-50 but i do not
know for sure. about 9.1 to 9.3 seconds 60-130. stock intercooler, stock internals, 38,000 mi.
IMHO, protomotive "560" works very well with my set-up, very drivable and from 4000 rpm-
7000rpm which is 560's new redline (and I rarely rev it that far), it is a very fast set-up and
night and day different from stock.

YES, comes on lower than stock and has less turbo lag, but since it comes on so hard later,
the bottom end feels weak, although it is actually stronger than stock down low--good
overall drivability! I hope this helps...

Stummel, it's all in the programming. My first program was very poor and hit like a hammer at 4500 rpm. My current program is much more linear and really starts to kick in at around 2500 rpm.

Stummel if you are in Germany July 22st you can see what a Protomotive car does first hand. Meet up at Hockenheim or the Ring, Todd Knighton will be there fine tuning my car as well. Definition of customer service?
