The A-trim isn't that loud. I actually thought it would be louder before I put it in. THe most I notice it is when it's just idleing and it kind of whistles. I could hear it more, or hear air being sucked in when I got my mass air. If it's cold outside it is also louder and you can hear it whining at high rpms. I haven't had a chance to hear it from the outside while it was driving.

I noticed quite a bit of power when I put it in. They advertise 70 hp gain. When it is cold outside 40 degrees or lower you really notice it. I had a Supra turbo before, a 90 with the single turbo and I thought it would feel like a turbo, but it really doesn't. It is a lot smoother acceleration than a turbo, it doesn't kick in all of the sudden. That might be because it is only 5 psi.

I was very happy with the a-trim although I would love to have higher boost, I couldn't afford it.
