I love mine. I actually had to watch my tach for a while after first installing the HT. Normally I would recognize when it's time to shift by feeling the boost starting to die off but not the case with the HT. Power goes beyond 5k very noticeably and I actually take it to or near redline now. I never did before since it never did any good and actually felt much worse at those RPM's. Same goes for the low RPM boost, much more torque with the HT. It's not just a high RPM gain by any means.
I honestly care nothing about peak gains or dyno numbers and never will. But I can say that the car runs throught the RPM's with much more torque, much smoother and more even-feeling. It that appeals to you, get a HT. If putting a larger number in front of your whp appeals to you more, get an AP. I've had both and I choose the HT for sure.

i just got mine last week and its kicking butt. this is how it should of came like from the dealer. i love having boost in 1st and 2nd, plus the engine rev is so much smoother now.
Another satisfied customer! Good to hear.
Just installed it after opening it! Wow! Car definitely feels more eager. I don't feel much more in the taller gears, which is what I was looking for, but for the most part I've very happy. Even got rid of my stupid TPMS light.... which is odd. It'd be really great if HyperTech engineered a map for TMIC's.

anyone with running the cobb map have any problems?

Map? You mean save a different intake during the initial install of the ht? Like if I had an mscai and I input that it was a cobb sri?
If so I imagine it would do more harm than good. All the intake choices do is allow the maf to have a better calibration. Its not a method of "tricking" to get more hp

It's just varied maf cals, not a new map for each intake.
It's not a good idea unless you have a monitoring system. I tried several maf cals on my car, which has an AEM CAI. The Nano cals gave brutal torque but the trims were wildly all over the place. The AEM cal was really strong in the midrange but tapered off too much up high for me. The CP-e Excel CAI values work best and to beat all, the trims are closer to 0 than the AEM cals were. It gives back a touch in the mid for better high rpm power that is more progressive in delivery. Chris from HT said, as long as the boost levels don't climb too high over 5000 rpm, it'll be fine. Boost levels and taper seem the same as with the AEM cals, according to my logs so, Excel it stays.

Break-in unnecessary
That's kinda what I meant.
Though, after my race-pipe and HT install I'm still only seeing around 13 or 14 psi unless I'm in 5th or 6th and then I only see 15 or 16 for a second. Car definitely isn't any slower. I don't really see it as being a bad thing unless it's really slowing the car down if there really is more boost to be had. But I was seeing 15 psi with the stock air box and 2nd cat regularly.

Something does seem to be up there. Step 1 is check for boost leaks post turbo. Then, it might be worthwhile, if you have DH or similar, to monitor your true throttle position (not pedal) and the WG duty cycle. These are primary controls for boost level on this car. On this tune, I spike briefly to 20.xx pounds on my full bolt car but, taper begins right away and over 6k, it's down around 15 psi.
