The first difference I noticed was the sound. I can hear the air wooshing in and blowing off, but not a lot of turbo whistle, very noticeable. And then I noticed a dramatic difference in spool up-the needle sweeps right up to the red almost instantaneously. Once boost is on, I can't really feel that much difference, except in the +4500rpm range which I rarely go. In fact, while driving in "night panel" I must have hit the rev limiter cause the tach light lit up-surprise, that's never happened before. Mileage is about 1.5 to 2 mpg better. I'd say its worth it just for the sound. I drive a 2000 Viggen convertible if that makes a difference.
