And here are the results. The overall increase in power and torque looks quite impressive:



But frankly speaking I'm a bit disappointed. The lag increase at the lower RPMs is much more noticeable than I expected. :(
I guess it's just because the new turbo spools up slower, right? Would it possible to move the power band a bit to the left with a proper tuning?
As far as I understood the guys at RG did not really tune it because it turned out that I have to replace the clutch, as it's started slipping with this increased torque. :-\ For the same reason I could not really feel the power yet - it's dangerous to floor it now.
