I just got finished installing my 16G this weekend. Started on Friday after work and finished up on Saturday around 7:30... Overall it took about 12 hours with most of the work being done solo. My friends and family pitched in here and there, but overall, it was a success. I will say this, there were a few bumps in the carpet but not what I expected. The water lines which were my biggest fear hardly needed to be bent at all which was good. The real bugger was the oil return line. The holes were a pain to file down, but eventually they got there. Once everything was assembled, checked for leaks, no problems at all. I will say this, Purolator oil filters DO NOT fit an RnR O2 Eliminator downpipe. I had to run to Valvoline and pick up one of theirs because they are about 1/4 to 3/8ths shorter than the Purolator.
Driving... I downed the boost from where I was (15psi) on the T25 to about 12 or so to be on the safe side. First thing I noticed was mad boost creep. I hit WOT and it would go from 12 to 13 to 15 to 17 at which point I let off the gas. Boost spikes were not prevalent all the time as it seemed more random than anything else but that's first impressions. Also since my automagic has such sloooooooooooow shifts, I had boost spikes of up to 20psi for a second or two. I got a shift kit waiting to go in so hopefully that gets cut down a bit. Other than that, it's a tad slower to spool than the T25 (shocking, I know..
) and has AWESOME top end power. Another thing I noticed, and maybe it's because I have an AT, but the increase in speed wasn't that noticeable from the T25 at first. I think it's because of the lack of the jerk back and forth when shifting and boost is built and dumped. Again, those are my frist impressions. I am planning on upping the boost tomorrow to 15 to see how it runs...
