Just hand mine installed this weekend so I thought I would give some feedback. There are some really noticeable improvements in smoothness. I have a DSG car and 034 Dogbone mount. Since the mount has been in the car has had a much more noticeable shudder when the brake is released and the clutch engages. It feels like its close to stalling but never does. That has been almost completely removed. Idle lumpiness is gone as well.
On full boost the car feels great and the one place I can really tell it working is about 5700-5800 rpm. When I take it above that point and out to 6500-6600 rpm all buzziness that was there is gone. It pulls strong and smooth in the upper RPM range.
I did a ton of pulls right before and after the install to really try and feel a back to back difference on the same day and conditions just 2 hours apart. I think the car is stronger from 3k and up. Holds power out longer up top as well. I was getting my tires (225 snows currently) to break traction in 3rd from a hit at 3k. Very responsive and sharp and I got no spin in the same conditions previously. I can believe at 10-15whp and tq increase as seen on multiple dynos. I feel the combination of this and the turbo inlet, DV+ and RS7 plugs have helped the car pull longer and stronger where it used to fall flat at 5500 RPM. IE intercooler is about to go on in the next month and then the car will be dyno'd. Hoping for some big number for FBO stock turbo.
