Ask and Ye shall receive.

Well I did it.
Took the hard top off.
Struggled but managed to take the soft top off too.
Aside from 3 13mm screws (each side) there are also two black phillips head screws you'll need to take off. On the 13mm i suggest a socked and for the phillips you'll need the shortest screwdriver.
So far managed to only post a small clip (but very high def wide screen).
Will work on the other one, where I rev it all the way.
Go to www.speed12.com/movies.htm .
Good luck.
If there are any problems, let me know.

I'm going to sleep now..

Clip did not work for me.

I would love to hear your set up.

Yes I do, my install was done in July.

Its amazing, I have not done a write up yet because I was going to wait until I did the dyno. I hope to get that done this weekend.

I can tell you the car is faster than it ever has been, it surprises me how fast I pass cars from 50 and I am doing 90 before I know it, all in 3rd gear. The way it revs from 3000 to redline and pulls the whole way, is very addictive.

The wastegate/blow off valve sounds so good i have found myself riding along with out the radio on.

I am planning on doing a few videos in the next few days. To add to my Youtube collection.

How loud is the turbo whine? I'm hoping there would be little to no whine because I do a lot of commuting with the car and having it whine all the way to work would be annoying.
