Typical horsepower gains range from 10hp+ with a stock turbo, 15hp+ with a K04, and 30-40 horsepower when combined with a GT28RS or larger turbo. Includes provisions for factory oxygen sensors. --For OFF-ROAD use only! "
My next mod!

Just get a set of non foulers part 42009, they will come up as spark plug non-foulers, but fit perfect. Thats what i used. grinded one down with a dremel (or drill) and stacked the 2 together. No cel yet!
I LOVE my test pipe. The sound is great and it added a noticeable little punch. Smell really isnt THAT bad. and its a hella lot cheaper than the labree. Id say go for it unless you have emissions testing.

This is NOT going to give you much with a stock or near stock setup. Yes, it's a bit of a restriction. But it doesn't really show itself until you start improving other things. I doubt it'd give you 30 even with the GT28RS. Maybe 20-25 I'd guess. But, still, not much at stock.
