The car does feel more smooth when shifting and building power across the band; it's just not as violent and fun as it was. I'm disappointed.

Also, the pump primes very loudly now when the car "wakes up" after unlocking or opening a door after it has been sitting. It sounds like a Hoover vacuum for a few seconds.
That's cuz it's doing what it should to prime the pump to keep it from failing.
