Finally had a chance to fit the tip today, not sure about gains yet as I always struggle to tell the difference, maybe a little extra torque lower down, my 008 sounds different not as loud as before more of a hish than a ptssh lol,also had a few loud pops (backfire) out the exhaust when changing up is this to be expected?

Wasn't to bad to fit really,i turned a couple of alu top hat plugs for the two unused  take offs,it is an sfs tip.
Right I can now confirm that there is defo more power which is great,what is not so great is my boost seems to drop off more than ever in the higher revs down,from 0.8 to 0.4 bar,could this be a weak actuator spring causing this?
Also when I let off the throttle my engine wants to leap forward ,anyone got any info on this

I cant say anything as mine is totally standard atm & i aint drove it far apart from at the garage (private land) and my turbo was making a fluttering noise :undecided: i got a dv007 with yellow spring to go on and s2k filter. Thinking about a forge tip aswell and a k03s.
