Yes!! Haha, so realistically when should we expect to hear that it's been installed?

Just finishing installing and taking a few test drives. Wow! My car not only got it's balls back but some big hairs too!

Install start to finish was 40 minutes, including looking for a few tools and flashlight in the garage. Could have not been any simpler, almost as easy as the two plugin clips on the BMS N55 Stage 1. Be sure to undo the wire harness front clip and pull the two factory wires away from it to give yourself room to reinsert the 3 ECU plugs. Will post some pictures later of shots during my install.

Driving impression is better than the BMS Stage 1. Torque comes on earlier and stays for while. Never seen my Sport Displays light up so fully before. Regardless of what the Dyno shows on Friday I think me have a keeper. The smile factor was worth the $1999 installed.

Awesome !! Dyno's mean nothing its all about drivability and your personal experiences ! Anyone can make dyno figures look good !! Especially high reading ones like certain tuners use to exaggerate there power gains !! Well done on the install - keep your experiences flowing as heaps of people are watching this thread !!

Don't know what happened to Delnari, he had these great things to say on a test drive, strapping it up to a dyno, and then silence. I hope the dyno results didn't scare him away. Whatever they were he was impressed with the butt dyno so that has to mean something, right? Regardless-- I was curious as to what you ordered dharo since there were so many boxes. Anything impressive? You installing whatever they are yourself? Initial impressions after unboxing, etc? This thread may become the dharo / black thread since Delnari appears to have went AWOL.
