I have a dual gauge carbon fiber gauge pod that sits on the dash in the far left corner next to the pillar that has our AFR and Boost gauge.

Not Ernie, obviously but I think the BPP Turbo comes with the exhaust which connects directly to the turbo setup. I've seen people with the BPP exhaust with the Brabus rear valence.

To Ernie or anyone who has heard the car running - how loud is the exhaust compared to the BPP center exhaust? Does the turbo quiet things down a bit? (I had the Sport exhaust and it was too loud for me)

Thanks,
Stan

I haven't heard the BPP sport exhaust, but I will say I didn't think the ForTurbo (with the engine lid open, BTW) was too terribly loud at all. I'd venture a guess that it's probably about the same SPL, if not slightly lower, than the BPP center-port system.

No problem if you have the remap already.

Sounds an interesting mod!
It says in the first post that it will be running at about 4-5psi, maybe you can help here?
My smart roadster turbo runs at a max of 1.5 bar, with no problems at all, so what does 4-5psi equate to in bar.

Less than half a bar! You can't boost the 451 like the old car, on the otherhand the new car makes more power with less boost.

I have run 10 psi in the 451 for short bursts, but the ecu would cut the throttle, and that was much more than I believe the chassis can handle, too much power and they aren't a fun smooth car anymore, but much more power and full manual would fix that
