Its a painfully inadequate small core they're trying to cram up to nearly 23psi through. I know most are aware that this is the first part to upgrade, but are you aware as to how ridiculously small it is? Example, my SS's core is 525cu, the GTI is 493cu, the Golf R is 616cu, the Type R? 380cu. The cherry on top is that none of the other cars are pushing anywhere near as much boost through their much larger cores.
It explains how one reviewer can get a 4.9 0-60 with a 108mph 13.5 sec 1/4 mile and the next reviewer can only manage a dismal 5.8 0-60 with a 14 sec 102.5mph 1/4 mile. For me its like watching a 23psi Trifecta tuned SS vs a stock 15.6psi SS and being told they're making the same power. For the track guru the Type R was created to be with its ecu highly sensitive to BAT's, it was a glaring oversight from Honda. I understand keeping costs down, but this is just absurd, a 3.5" core isn't going to break the bank.
