Well I got it all togehter over the past 4 days (taking my time). All in all the car is a tom quicker, but actually doesn't feel like it. I guess it just comes on boost more smoothly, whereas the k26 was kind of violent when it got spooled the k27/k26 takes a bit longer and comes up more gradually. Intake air temps are very lovely since the change. With the k26 I was getting ~140 degrees F on a good boost run, since the swap I haven't seen higher then 110.

I have a bunch of pictures from the install that will be going on my website maybe tomorrow. http://www.craincorporated.com/q , check it out. For X-mas I got some tranny mounts and motor mounts which went on that day. I also got a nice Audi hat (black w/ rings on front, Never Follow on back), a nice black leather mouse pad with the rings, a drink bottle (again black with rings).

Happy new year to all!
