Unfortunately I didn't yet drive the car as the PDK TCU is shipped overseas to get the tune.
I've installed the complete kit and made a test turning on the car.
My findings so far:
1. The intercoolers are massive! And look like top notch quality craftsmanship. Very pleased. I hope do88 can advise on the risk of pressure drop due to size? I run stock turbos.
2. The turbo inlet tubes look like monsters compared to tiny oem ones... one advise for frustration free installation is to lower the engine a bit and spray the hoses with silicone lube. Made it a ten minutes job!
3. The Ypipe is huge! Along with silicone hoses connecting to the intercoolers. I've even compared it physically to the oem one and IPD one... massive difference.
I ask do88 to provide whatever data or tests to support the claimed benefits.
I'm expecting to have my car on the road before the end of month.
Thanks

Bit late now you've bought the gear..... why not generate your own comparative data and share with your fellow RL protagonists, this is the only way to keep the swamp clear of snake oil

Thank you for the input on the mounting procedure of the hoses. We know it´s a struggle but once they´re in place it will be worth it!
You were asking for more test data, here you go:
Judging form comments on this forum, it appears to us that some companies and manufacturers have a tendency of modifying the little numbers they present to make their product more competitive. Us being one of the manufacturers perhaps make you dubious to the accuracy of our numbers, but we can guarantee you that we do not commit to such falsery. What you see is what you get and we really welcome anyone to test our products and to challenge our data. The more the customers know, the better!
Right now Rickard aka SMR racing is fitting our intercoolers and y-pipe to his car as well. Stay tuned to that thread to see more comparisons from a dedicated race car.
Great thread this btw. Nice work on the car!
Best regards
Isak, do88.

I can say though that my car on VP MS109 fuel with BMC filter and ESMOTOR tune made the below:
All whp is 597 ( might be error margin due to the dyno setup)
Vbox data on 60mph to 130mph in 6.8 seconds
Now installed the do88 BigPack kit and Aquamist HFS4 methanol kit and ESmotor headers and PDK tune from ESmotor... I'll retune and provide results
