Will roll around completely stock other than single, d/p, exhaust, fmic on 12psi. Winter time will do standalone, built auto and fuel so I can atleast have a little fun at TX2K next year. It's just a 6266 but should be more than enough for my 600hp goal.

Well been daily driving it since Saturday. Everything I expected and then some. Drives like a completely stock GS300 unless you get past 10% throttle. Hits full boost(13PSI) right around 3600 rpm and going through the Tanabe Touring Medallion exhaust the exhaust note doesn't change much at all until the wastegate opens, which is open to atmosphere. Fuel Economy has actually improved by a few MPG which is nice. Have to replace the coilpack clips and coils since it breaks up a bit on the high end but other than that I love having a boosted car again!

It's Texas, of course it's functional lol. I'm too fat to not have it :P. Everything functions like stock other than no cruise and no VSC both of which I can live without. I read online cruise will work up to 62mph but haven't tried it. Guess I'll give it a go on my way home tonight from work .
