In fact, they’re relatively horrible. But I guess a baby blue (based on avatar/profile pic) 2gnt driver doesn’t really care about optimizing his resources to achieve the best result anyway. But it doesn’t seem like you really care though about other people’s experiences in this matter anyway. Carbonfiberhooded’s, turboTSI’s, and eclipsed’s experience \> your experience. Hell, I even owned a 420A once and very quickly realized its limitations, even as a youngster. bottom line is do what makes you happy, but you’ve got a wealthy knowledge base trying to steer you in the right direction, based on identical mistakes in the past. rock on dudebro :carnut --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/eclipse-turbo-installation/29604)._
