Thanks man! Just saw your build and commented haha! VERY similar build.

I know of one CVT that has the W1 here installed. Not sure on dyno numbers though.

I'm waiting for the 27won intercooler to come in before I put the turbo in.

Yea we do have similar builds just with different exterior colors, and one with a much more aggressive wheel and tire setup (im slightly jealous) lol. Have you dyno'd your current setup as yet?

No I haven't but I'm running the tsp tune and they claim its 240whp and 270tq so it should be around there or a little more.

I'll be dyno tuning once the w1 goes in.

Next up: Shifter Assembly

The Si shifter was great for the average person and since the type r shifter assembly was cheap like 40 bucks at cost I thought I would order it for the slightly shorter throw and also threw in the Acuity bits.

Definitely an improvement over the stock shifter and then I ended up getting the Hybrid Racing Short Shifter. One reason I went the hybrid route was not because of the cost. Myself and @CanadiaegeanBlue are doing a lot of experimenting back and forth with different products and since he has the Acuity we agreed I'll get the Hybrid. This way we can do a proper comparison and see how they both feel. Myself and Humza always swap cars and see how both ours compare in handling, ride, comfort, sound etc.

In my opinion the hybrid shifter is great for the daily driver, shifts are great, cost is about 100$ less than Acuity. It's not always about how much adjustability there is because once someone sets it up it is very rare anyone Is going to readjust it.

The hybrid shifter has a little side side to side play when in gears but not excessive. Another thing I like about the Hybrid shifter is that the base is a solid piece and no base bushings is needed so less parts.

The acuity shifter is really tight when its in gear and feels amazing as well. But for the daily driver some may find it is way too stiff and others love it.

In the end both shifters are pretty good and built solidly. I personally like the stiffer feeling, I heard from the grapevine that Hybrid is making a stiffer spring so I'll get that and see how much it changes. I may end up getting an Acuity later down the road as well but for now I'm super happy with the Hybrid.

And yes I'm running bootless and have been since about november. Haven't lost anything to the black hole yet.
