Power curve from Cargraphic. From my brief test drive at below 4500 rpm in Larry's car, I must admit I am not sure I feel any power increase.
I think what's more important is I did not feel any power *LOSS* (butt dyno so please take with a grain of salt). More definite is the more linear power delivery. With stock, there is a delay below 3000 rpm where when one steps on the gas; the engine spools slowly and engine rpm moving up at glacial pace at first, and then boom, at 3200 rpm all hell breaks loose, in itself a lot of fun. With the Cargraphic, the up-tick below 3000 rpm is faster and power delivery feels more natural--not quite there yet but closer to a natural aspirated engine.

Thanks Andrea. It's the east coast of Lake Como, towards the area around Varenna, I think (Darius corrects me if I am wrong.). Shot taken from hotel room's window in Bellagio (not ferry as I reported ealier).Quote:

The dealership completed the installation of my Cargraphic exhaust(TUV loud) and IPD plenum today. I had an absolutely wonderful 250 mile drive home. The car is much more responsive, accelerates more willingly and sounds so good. Many thanks to Can, Ed and Eugene for the advise. I can't imagine being happier with the result. Both high quality products that definitely work. If anyone else is contemplating the above modification...you won't be disappointed.![]()

Good stuff. However, the 'loud' version is NOT TUV approved...Quote:

I have the TETR version myself as part of my CG powerkit. This still sounds amazing despite being a little quieter.

Alex,
Besides the ECU & Exhaust what does the "CG powerkit" consist of?

See my CG thread: http://www.rennteam.com/showflat.php?Cat...e=2&fpart=1
The Turbos/Exhaust sounds SO 'angry' when you put your foot fully down on the accelerator with the powerkit.

You need to turn your volume RIGHT UP in order to get a 1/10th of the roar!!!

So the "kit" is an ECU, exhaust & air filter. And the air filter does nothing. It's not really what you think of when you think of a "kit" like the AWE kit.

So the air filter makes the exhaust sound better for starters.
