How is the sound?
I'm currently running a set of Kumho Ecsta ASX All Seasons on 265/35/18s in the rear. I think I need to upgrade to an Extreme Performance Summer tire to get some grip back.

Haha, no flames that I know of at this time

As for how it sounds, it's definitely different from the M96 flat 6. Not as smooth. It's got lots of the typical turbo bov/compressor surge sounds. It does sound pretty mean, especially when going through a freeway underpass or through a tunnel.

Here's a video clip that Kent took while tuning the car earlier this year.

From the inside, it sounds pretty similar to his setup, just a little subdued due to me running a full interior. You can hear it in one of his race videos too. The engine in the video is now in his street car.
