SoFar the Radix is performing as advertised and I am very happy with its OEM fit, finish and everyday driving characteristics

Us Lightning guys new we had to stop after each run, pop the hood, ice down the intake, and wait a while before the next run. It seems odd to me, but my turbo isn't like that. I know they need to be hot to perform their best, but I've never seen a drop in performance like I would with the Eaton on the Lightnings.

Update: 82 degrees outside today, I was in tow/haul mode, I was leaving the stop light easy, now going 10mph or so, I go and press the gas, I can't even tell you how much, I was just thinking to speed up a bit, maybe 1/8", both tires break loose for a nice long and loud eeeeeerrrrrrrph! Can you say TQ?
