So basically polar opposites.

Funny comment of first day of ownership "I have to learn to drive again (having a series of Caprice V8's for over 10 years), I have to concertrate when I am driving just normallyy?!?!"

Hahah... No doubt! I had a V8 Caprice the other week for the weekend, and it is definitely the polar opposite of the X, but still fun for the weekend!

Got there just as they were taking it off the dyno, so didn't see it in action but I'm certainly happy with the result! Bum dyno says GOOOOOOD!

Numbers for those playing at home = 321Hp & 440Nm @ hubs

Result = hang on... Bulk torque and so much response!... <3

Stock X turbo's are fantastic. Many have been pushed to 350HP+ on E85 (thank the Americans)

Making 440Nm @ 3500rpm, nuts!

It certainly performs well with the limited mods!

TMS have built in two interchangeable boost maps as well, which is good, as well as a knock alert light in high-boost!

Pretty cool!
