No no. My car was fine until Friday before last. It's been at the dealer since last Thursday. If I get it back tomorrow I that would make it a full week at the dealer. I am not complaining though

picked up the car, everything works fine. comfort mode seems less dull and sport mode you can feel the different. i cannt really tell the exhaust sound different. sport display units now changed to HP and lbf/ft (400/400). note that some settings are reset due to DME replacement like door lock, triple turn signal and speed warning... hope everyone will have their done soon.

Best,

Best,
How many miles do you have on your car? Mine is at about 8000 miles, it feels like it has more exhaust notes and power than it did when I installed the PPK. Around 4000 miles.

Give the PPK time but your initial observations are consistent with what most felt after installation, myself included.

Your Eco pro should feel boring now, that's the other observation I made

good to know that PPK would have the break-in. i am at around 4500 miles. now my sport display is showing 400/400, does that mean i got the new PPK compare to when it was first released in April 2013?

Just got the update from my dealership that the install is done and it is working. They did a test drive and clocked 330hp/340lbs-torque on the sport display (so im guessing i have 400/400 display which is the newer version of the PPK). Its being washed now. I can't wait to pick it up!

What's the 400/400? I have only seen references that the PPK increases hp to 320. 400hp would be bad ass.

Definitely! I really have to be careful not to speed now. I can hear the whoosh sound from the turbo and the exhaust burbles are definitely more prevalent. I kept gassing it and letting go of the throttle just to hear it. Felt good. Puts a smile on my face everytime!

Not 400hp but the Sport Display will show a range up to 400hp/torque. I was able to hit around 330ish hp when testing it out before hitting traffic. I believe the new version of the PPK increases the hp to 335 now according to other posts.

The new display shows 400/400 now. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I was just saying we don't get 400hp from the PPK (although that would be sweet).

Dang, sounds like the new MPPK may be better than the old one. At least the display is showing more HP....

Thanks for the clarification. 400 would be sweet but if we can get more than advertised that's also good.

So is it just me or does the exhaust sound a bit louder? Maybe I'm just listening for it more with the more distinct burbles everytime I accelerate and let off the throttle. Lovin it! My wallet is going to hate me as I can clearly see a decline is MPG from gunning it so much. I just can't resist! *whooosh* *burbleburbleburble*
