No, not really any more responsiveness. But the slight flutter at high RPM, high boost situations is completely gone, so in that regard I feel the BOV is more responsive. That's about the only difference. That and the lack of sound in comparison to the previous blow off valve. My morning commute was so peaceful.

Not yet! In fact, I haven't even purchased them yet. One stipulation of the contest was that the offer would be valid for 6 months, so to minimize cost and maximize the use of my original turbos, I've been saving month by month so the final bill, when coupled with my $1000 discount, won't be that hard to swallow in September. Plus I can crank up the boost on my stock snails for the summer. More updates on that to come very soon.

And to be honest, I still haven't decided if I'll be going with the GC Lites or the stage 2+ cast options Vargas is about to release. They are significantly cheaper, don't require new inlets/outlets, and still supports up to 675whp.
