does the sound deadening work like dynamats to help with installing subs and speakers? As with dynamats, I see you didn't apply it to cover up the whole trunk, but only bits of places. Why is that. Is bits and pieces enough for subs?

this should help you out little bit

http://www.raamaudio.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi

sound deadner (RAAMmat) i used and dynamats have same concept. except raammat is cheaper and they are not as high quality as dynamats but still does it job. also dynamat is bit costly and heavy. thats why i used on bits of places where it needed the most by knocking on the metal. now i got a layer on the whole trunk, rear seat, front/rear floors, etc...

^ Stock 200 HP 207 TQ

APR 91 octane 232 HP 273 TQ

APR 93 octane 241 HP 292 TQ

I can switch between these two modes through cruise control, i have it on 91 right now. These are all crank numbers too.

You can really feel the difference and yes, the torque curve is fat, downside, that with the stock turbo, it doesn't have a whole lot of high end. Still good though...

292
with few other mods, it'll surpass 300 pretty easily. i prefer higher tq since i drive mostly in the city.
