Just an update:

Apparently it seems this  system features a unique separate wastegate dump pipe - which redirects exhaust from the wastegate further back the downpipe. The result is much less turbulence at the exit of the turbo, allowing exhaust gas to flow even more freely.

APR claims much better throttle response, stronger torque delivery in low and mid range and of course, additional peak power.

On the downside, you'll need APR's exhaust-specific software.

Holey $#1t

It really is going to be minimal gains against a simple 3" downpipe and who in their right mind would buy this over going to a bigger turbo with an external wastegate if they are that concerned!!!
