acceleration is pretty good surprisingly and pulls a lot harder than the 12a did at a much lower rpm, i'm going to swap rear's to a 3.27 from the 3.90 to make it better on the highway, which will slow it down too. it enters boost at around 2k so right where i want it- I never weighed the engine its self but if i had to guess id say it was a good 100lbs heavier including the turbo, the suspension stayed level and you really don't feel the extra weight I like it though it feels like it should have come in this car in the first place which is always a good thing
plus if i didn't mention before, first 100 miles clocked in at 47mpg
