Thanks for all the work to you and your crew there at Forged Sharif!!

I couldn't be happier with the car and it was exactly as promised. The sound, feel, everything was just as I had hoped and expected it to be.

I put it on a portable dyno here and it did 416/382.

The whole experience was great, from keeping me informed on when parts would arrive, pics of the install and humoring me with all my questions. Very professional and courteous, good times!

Nice work! I didn't know the tuner kit came with the external wastegates... Did you have to weld the internal swing gate on the turbo exhaust housing shut?

APS just started doing the externals on there tuner kits, so I doubt you have to weld anything..
I have the tuner kit from the beginning of the year, internal wastegates. But they're BB, these new ones are not
Gotta justify it somehow lol

With the new APS tuner kits, they use a different turbocharger completely, and it's cast without the bypass chamber for the internal gate. To it's a "true" externally gated turbo charger. On the older APS kits, the WG was welded shut.
