Real solid. From what I've seen from the RBs they hide that of that huge midrange hit and the pull is much more linear. What's your launch(dead stop brake boost) look like? Can you build up any pressure?
I'm assuming you or your installer preformed the swap on a lift. I guess I'm starting to gear up for a turbo swap and figuring out what kind of time frame. It looks like this is a weekend job for sure.

It was done on a lift and it's a weekend job for sure (start Friday night if you are not experienced ) Seeing all the process (I was there the whole time), I think it can also be done in like 16-18 hours of continuous work (with 2 short lunch breaks) from an experienced mechanic.

I've done a couple turbo swaps in my day. Most recent being a 1JZ-GTE twin turbo which was converted to a big single. It surprisingly looks about the same ordeal other than pulling the turbo from the bottom instead of the top. It took me about 10 hours however the single went back on much easier, most Supra owners complain about how hard it is to get the twins off with the motor installed. That being said, I'm looking forward to loosing 16 hours of my life to this car eventually.

@cstavaru - It would be interesting if you could post the base cobb maps and overlay it with the virtual dyno software, so you can see percentage difference changes between what you started with and what you have now.

However, here is a comparison of dynos from today vs. two days ago, when I almost finished the WGDC tables. Quite a difference
