Everything from VMP was delivered yesterday and I immediately installed it all at home. On top of the stage 2 I also got the Billet Pro Shop TB elbow. Install was straight forward and all done with 1/4in ratchet, extensions, swivel, 8mm deep well, 10mm deep well, small torx (forgot the size) for the MAF, and an allen (forgot the size). Took about two hours. I loaded the tune. Let it idle for about 10 minutes then I took it out. WOW!! Woke the car right up. Snappy throttle, throws ya back in the seat, and I can finally hear that TVS scream. If you don't want to mess with your car too much. This set up is perfect. Factory boost and plugs with a massive gain in power and smiles.
I did notice the fans coming on for long periods while driving, even in 60 degrees this morning. Wasn't expecting extra heat from this package. So I'm a little confused.
One more thing, with the elbow and TB, the dipstick hits the motor casing on the TB. Trying to find a place to zip tie it away from the TB. Even if it's off of it by a 1/4 inch. Better than it hitting.
Overall, pretty satisfied with this set up. Great bang for buck and an easy install to boot. 10/10 would recommend.
Here's some pictures of stock to aftermarket comparisons as well as the dipstick hitting. And a quick video of a 3rd gear pull last night. I let off a bit up top, got a little bumpy on the road. You'll hear some legitimate excitement at the end.
