~1500 miles on the rebuild and I'm still running stock boost. The other day ^^^, I ran 7.56 0-60 and 17 0-100, and that was with the twin scroll inactive because the banjo bolt was broken (no vacuum leak, I stuck a solid bolt in there). Yesterday, a nasty afterburn blew out my turbo to mani gasket AGAIN, GRRR (meaning that even after tightening the turbo down over the remnants, I cannot boost quite as well as before). Today, I tightened the turbo down and also fixed the twin scroll banjo bolt. Under pretty similar engine temp, weather conditions, and same place as that prior time trial, I ran 6.8 0-60 and 16.1 0-100. Both times had basically identical shift points as well, and while I think my technique improved slightly since the last time, there's no way I overcame less boost to get such better times.
In short:
A tad less boost, especially up high, yet with the twin scroll active, the car is faster. Sweet.
Oh, and today, after fixing my twin scroll I squawked the tires two different times going into second gear from high in first. I was never able to do that before. SWEET.
