I'm running 2 turbos w/ the Dawes Device at a conservative setting slightly over stock and am happy w/ the zip. I really don't run wide open hardly at all. I went to the yards and procured two later rounded exhaust manifolds and Mitsubishi turbos- they spool faster, and am happy with the setup. Turbo lag seems minimized compared to the Garrett. I have manual shifts and I find I am in the under 5000rpm range 98% of the time- so I don't miss the higher air output of the Garrett turbos. Yes, I recommend these mods for simplicity and peppy response without getting complex. Your car will definitely feel faster. The turbos are all slow out of the hole but the midrange is great.
