Yep been running a full Mongoose system for a couple of years now on my UK94. Love it. Sounds wonderful. Yes it does spool up earlier and initially I did have problems with it hitting the fuel cut when it overboosts. Its soo long ago now and many mods since I can't remember how I got around it.

The newer ones come with an extra small down pipe modification which is meant to stop the turbo spinning up too early. I was told that in August last year I got one of the first one with the new modification. The turbo does not spin up now so early but the new bit rubs on the steering column. You only hear it rubbing when acclerating fast in 1st or 2nd, I guess that is when the engine moves the most to interfere with it, it is only rubbing a fraction but very annoying. I tried to get a response from Mongoose but got no reply I was very dissappointed with them. However I do like the exhaust note and the flame outs!!
