Well, first 170 mile road trip with the cherry bomb. I'm getting about 28 mpg. Strangley it seems boost is a tad lower . The only reason I can think of for this is the engine isn't working as hard so I'm burning less fuel hence the lower boost. There is no additional exhaust noise when cruising at 70mph. I can climb hills better as well.

After the road trip my oxidation cat was cleaned out. I can deffinitively tell you that boost builds quicker. Acceleration is up. The grin on my face is much bigger.

This was the best $50 I have spent on this car
