Ya he did...with no exhaust to save weight, removed seats, slicks, and E85...i dont see someone running around on the streets running slicks...im not saying they cant be made to go fast but it takes some upgrades to do so. All that matters is you enjoy your car really. I love mine
They run like a 12.6 in stock form. It would take some substantial mods to keep up or beat one (PRL Turbo Upgrade, full bolt ons, tune, intercooler, etc). It could be done but would take more than just one of the drop in turbos.

Very true. Only reason I asked is originally I thought this would be an option with the kit. Either way still an awesome kit that I will definitely be getting
I see the kit comes with a re-circ BPV. Safe to assume that we will not be able to have it vent to atmosphere? I thought I read that somewhere originally the kit was going to allow us to have a BOV
