The results have been very positive, unfortunatly I don't have dyno numbers to support it and unfortunatly I also swapped in a new engine and trans at the same time (trans was shot, and engine had excessive blow by but other wise ran great) so it is hard to quantify.
I am running stock fueling with a 9000FMIC and a AID mod.
Before the car was very peaky, if you got below 3000RPM it really had a hard time pulling out of the hole and around 3600 it would just take off.
Now it seems like I can pull out of that hole and just keep going. But the differences are hard to compare because I also turned the boost down with the new engine from 18peak/14settled to 16peak/11settled. I also haven't driven the car in competition since the swap so I haven't had it at 100% (or whatever I am able to drive at)
overall the drivability has increased in the lower rpms and it makes the best turbo sounds (doesn't really matter, but when the windows are open and you are cruising around on some back roads it's just cool) I am not fully utilizing the DP yet and I don't think the catco cat is the best flowing one out there. Battery location was easy, the positive line runs along the passenger side and I have a positive node where the old battery used to be and it is grounded in the trunk, works perfect.
I hope I address any issues you were thinking about.
