Default APS TT - First Drive Impressions

I've just had the best or should I say best white knuckled ride in the APS TT (it's terrifyingly fast), it was a 1 hour drive out in the country sides around Melbourne just a few days ago. Firstly I thought what's the big fuss about it runs just like the standard car except for the exhaust note (which is sweet), the car runs along in 5th and 6th at 60km/h up hills with ease, anyway we turned left into a road with about a 30% incline, Peter floors it and holy sh#t all hell breaks loose I'm push back into the seat like a sledge hammer has hit me between the shoulder blades, crack goes the exhaust as it hits the limiter bang in the middle of my back again as Peter shifts into second, the car is headed for the stars at this rate, where in third and pulling hard the roundabout up ahead zooms up bloody fast, on goes the brakes, were through, bang on goes the power again it's awesome. This is one very very quick car the TT has transform it, it's become a very quick point to point motor car, it no longer feels heavy and slow to pick up speed. I was lucky enough to drive it for awhile and boy this is one fun car to drive, I want one now!
On the drive home my car felt slow like I had left the hand brake on, it's gonna be a long wait until the end of Sept.

Note the car was fitted with test pipes and the APS duel exhaust running 9psi boost.

Great work APS

I would like to add that though this car is dam fast it is great to drive as a daily drive, there no hesitation, harsness or roughness it is so good your grandmother could drive it to the shops (heaven help her if she floor it though, hang on lady).

Is there any way to easily change the boost settings with this kit? How about different maps for race gas/pump gas, high boost/lower boost? Just how flexible (for tuning) is this kit?
Nice review of your thrill ride!!
