It is Konig Feather. it is a factory JCW, so I have JCW BBK. We are working on a floating rotor for it... Yes I did install the side boost tube.

Took the car home tonite to put some more miles I to it. Making sure all hose , connector are tight. Car is goin back tomorrow to finish the suspension tuning. Car is unstable right now on highway speed. Need alignment and corner balancing.
Now for first impression. It really pulls. Turbo kicks in about 2300-2500 rpm. From 60 mph it pulls to triple digits really quick. I have not lauch it as I have a new clutch that needs break in. At 5500 rpm it still wants to go. At normal driving the exhaust got quieter. But have low rumble burbling. It sounds great. Once it right reach 3500-4000 rpm. The tone changes and exhaust start to bark loudly. A sound that I have lost when the dealer reflash my ecu last year.
I will have video next week when it is all tuned right with Alta's stage 4 mapping.

I am growing my list of goodies to get for my ride, just working my **** off at the moment to get anything finished, yet the funding is done for whatever I decide is required for improved FunFactor!!!
Great follow up sounds like its coming together.
How many miles were on your stock clutch and how does the OS feel compared to the stocker?
Thanks for the write up.

Since you ask at the clutch. I have street OS on my Clubman and Race OS on my R53 track car. they both feel different.
Clutch pressure is good. not too heavy and not too light. there is some noise when I took off. (it could be the LSD breaking in). and I have not gotten the right rpm to release. My r53 was easier to drive.. maybe I am use to it.
more to follow.. once I get it back.

Now that Alta is no longer selling turbos, check out JMTC (JM turbo cooeprs). They will build you a nice hybrid turbo for a fair price.
