Needs cleaning and break-in time, but had to post up something....
It runs great. I have tried to keep it under 10psi to break in everything including new clutch. Keeping in mind that ~9psi was the stock boost level it is astounding to me how quickly my boost gauge jumps to 10psi right now. I have to be very gently with the foot. I can't believe that I am told to expect a 25psi spike then taper once I lay into it. In fact, since I have not gone through final tuning I am told to be careful with full boost as the code in my car was written for piggie pipes, not the massive 3" downpipes that are in there now.
Speaking of downpipes, ASP does not have off the shelf DPs to sell to allroaders. Mine had to have a section fabricated to shorten then and mate to my Milltek. The great thing is that I go now from 3" to the true 2.5" of the Milltek and not down to the smaller diameter that the DPs normally taper to in order to mate with any S4 cat back.
The clutch has a little shudder to it which is not 100% in keeping with the refined nature of the car, but if it need to be so to hold the power I will live with it.
Intercooler is massive and looks subtle behind the bumper. I like it.
I have a sheen of oily filth on the back of the car which I am a little worried about, but I am hoping it is from coolant that remained in the exhaust from teh massive hemorrhage I experience before. The car did not get any real road time until today when I went 150 miles before stopping at all. I think this all adds up to not being a problem, but I am certainly going to keep an eye on it.

Oh rats....there will be trouble at VIR in November I guess ;-) Awesome ride you got there now, just
the 3" DP's will make a great difference in developing boost. 25 PSi is very much what my tuner want it to throw into the Software but with 2.5" DP's you surely got the lead.
Can't wait to see some data on how this beast performs, Congrats Ryan, you waited long enough for that.
