The shipping was to-from Sweden (custom order). I live in Chicago, so I just met Bo to pick up the turbo here! I think the turbo is really good, there is slightly more lag than the stock T25, and I had to set the base pressure ~3 Lbs. higher to keep the turbo spinning at all. Things really start happening at around 3000 RPM(!!!)- a good side effect of the heavier wheels in this larger turbo is that I no longer have the huge boost spikes I had with the stock turbo and SQR chips-the boost would shoot way up to around 26PSI if I was too heavy with the gas. Now I can floor it with a steadily building rush of power.
The stage II SQR chips advertise +50 HP, and the turbo is good for up to 300 HP, which I think I fall short of by about 25 HP, but I need to confirm this on a dyno one of these days.
