Yes, please keep the pictures coming and all the updates. I check this thread at least three times a day to see if there is anything new.

Yea, I check, post, and call about my own car at least 5-6 times a day yet alone how many times I look at this thread. its very exciting to see someone install such a in debth kit like this one and do it right and make it work. so hats off to you if you pull it off with very minimal problems, however i do think your gonna run into some boost creep with those internal waistegates. but im curious to see how everything goes.

You might want to call Sharif alittle less than that, he may screw up the install of purpose if you keep buggin him! haha, just kidding - but hats off to both of you for getting this kit put your cars one way, or another!

There will be no boost creep.

I originally experienced creep when GTM developed the kit on my car, but they reconfigured the turbos after I showed them the PEAK HOLD on my CAMP2. During that time, I'm guessing I was over 500 WHp for a little while. The internal gates will function perfectly at spring pressure.

Lessen learned ... get good gauges with alarms!

Terry, what was the reason for the boost creep you experienced?
I remember you talked about it on driver and now i cant seem to find your thread.

Thanks.
