This is essential if seeing extended track use. The upgrade path is much easier since the cooling system is unchanged for VT2-585, 625 and 650 systems when additional power is desired.

Alright. So their are some factors; less boost, larger wheels. And the VT2 will probably be more consistant when driven hard from being intercooled.

Well in a couple weeks I'll be getting the 585 installed on mine. I wanna find a place to get it dynoed after so it should be a nice comparison since my car will have different variables. Full exhaust with x-pipe instead of OEM exhaust mod, plus it'll be on 93oct. Should get some nice results
