I got mine installed yesterday, I don't hear as much turbo noise as I would of hoped and I know why they took the video of it DIRECTLY in front of the car - you don't hear much. That being said, it does indeed pull a bit harder up top.

Install notes:

One of the turbo inlets is bigger than the other, make sure you pay attention to which rubber gasket fits where

Installing the gasket around the right angles of the airbox was a PITA because it likes to pop right back up

When installing the airboxes, start inside by the turbos without tightening it all the way, then work your way around

A bit of ky really helps slide the big rubber thing around both pieces of the intake

Summary: It's a much nicer engine cover than the factory one
