last night I had a little stoplight drag to 60mph against an NSX and an S4..nice combo to line up next to... WRX by ~3 car lengths over the NSX with the S4 bringing up the rear by 60mph. I backed off at that point because Thats the only type of street racing I'll do..from a stoplight, all clear ahead, no entrances or exits for suprises and only to 60..I try and keep it fun and safe at the same time. I love this car!!

Agreed, the APS unit is an excellent design. As an aside, I noticed a very big decrease in turbo and bov noise after replacing the stock ic hoses with the samco hoses...much quieter than when the stock silencer was first taken out for installing my intake.
twinz,

The decrease in turbo and BOV noise is immediately noticable upon Samco IC hose installation. The two tenths of a second shaved off my 1/4 mile time was also immediately noticable! :D Just from a visual inspection of the Samco hoses versus the stock POS plastic, you can tell the silicone will WAY out flow the plastic.
