SAMCO intercooler hoses performance?

ok...so i wanted to run my GFB 50/50 split again. i had it venting 100% and decided to run it 50/50. i lost the original hoses for the return off the BOV. so i decided to order a SAMCO intercooler kit.

the car seems to pull much harder from the get go....it feels like the turbo is spooling up much faster than it did. there is also a littel whistle in the spool noise of the turbo....not sure why....but you can hear something different in there!!!

the hoses were easy to put on.....it took me about 15 minutes to install them and have the intercooler back on. the quality of the hoses was beautiful!!! very worth the $140

any other guy run these, if you do...did you get any improvments?

i have em
nothng huge.. but its noticable

also, by switching your gfb to 50/50, you will get slightly faster spool, so that is mostly what your feeling, at least addin to it.
it spools faster b/c its recirulatin half the air back in, so you haev that much preasure already
