What to expect

Gonna have a gtp38r installed early next week, gonna have my dp tuner reflashed for the turbo also. What can i expect from performance, to how loud is the turbo gonna be? I was getting a lot of turbo surge, so i just figured a new turbo would be better than a wicked wheel. I appreciate everyones time and comments.

You don't really need the tuner reflashed for the turbo. The biggest difference is you are going to notice more power. Have fun!

Thanks for the replies fellas, im looking forward to it. Just hope its not too loud. Saw some you-tube videos and they dont seem too loud, nothing truning the radio up cant fix i guess.

What sort of intake setup are you running? That will affect how loud it's going to be too.
