No power increase or anything like that. the turbo sounds a bit louder and you can hear the bpv better to. It just helps to maintain the boost

the stock hot side has a pancake shape on top of the valve cover area= restriction

there is also 1 big kink where the hotside charge pipe by the oil filter area= restriction

so i'm sure the hot pipe from ZZP would help out.

It helps the turbo spool up a little faster, and it makes the turbo/bpv louder. As far as "gains", maybe 2-4 HP at the most. The biggest advantage is just sound and quicker spool.

My mods so far are, GMS1, Hahn Cool Air Intake, OTTP Catless DP, and RealStreet Charge pipes. All I need now is exhaust, and FMIC and I'm ready for a tune.

Mines lead to burnouts all day, and in the rain from one gear to the next.

Lol I know what you mean .... I rolled into 3rd today at 55-60 mph and the tires broke loose something fierce . I prolly could have spun 4th but my clutch already hates me ..... no sense in adding strain to our relationship hehe.
