Ditto to the above. The system I had installed on mine (similar to vwbuge, but mine had a cold-air intake setup) POSITIVELY gave faster spooling (felt start at 1800rpm) and certainly more response than the stock setup (slow spool and starts at 2400rpm.) But the Triple-K turbo I used in the alt filter setup had a larger compressor than the Garrett and the Garrett seems to work better (spool at lower RPM, regardless of air intake setup) with the 123 than the Triple-K from the SD.
