is that the same apexi ryan has? I like it with the resonator he just put in, I thought it was a little too loud pre-resonator.

Has anyone installed a boost controller. I heard good things about the hks evc5. Will a boost controller be worth the 600 dollars? Mia, did you ever install the spacer? Get it dyoed?

Haven't gotten to the dyno yet no...I've been retarded busy these last two weekends. I can't find a dynopack close enough to me to get it done there. I may have to resort to a Dynojet...

Not to sound like a brat, but did you send the sticker? LOL. Oh and I saw your post on the turbo timer. Apex was recommended to me. It has a cool shut off feature that if the Ebrake is lifted after u leave the car. It kills power to the car. I might go with that but is it really needed. I usually let the car idle for a good 2min before and after driving.

The sticker should be on its way there. Was finally mailed yesterday ...I'm so busy its retarded....as for the Turbo Timer...pretty much all of them have the option with the ebrake..I liked the Blitz the most personally but the Apexi is nice...AS for necessary no but its nice to pull the keys out and walk away and it cools down for you...

Soon grasshopper soon.... After SEMA they are going to begin work on Stage II. And yes the plan is to have an upgrade path for those with Stage I. When I talked to Brad yesterday we discussed and upgrade path, what it would entail, etc. Also we talked about Stage 1.5 which is being considered as well...Big things are coming...

Stage 1.5 which may or may not happen would be upgraded injectors (510 cc injectors) a different wastegate spring for more boost, and either a new reflash or a new tuning solution to tune for the higher boost. The goal here would be for mid to high 400s with the current turbo. Stage II of course will require a built motor and have a T61 turbo most likely. Bigger injectors which are still being chosen and most likely a different tuning solution for the MUCH higher boost and power. Of course this is all still words until after SEMA. And Stage 1.5 might not even happen. I'm trying to convince Brad that there is a definite demand for it including the 510s, spring, and new tuning solution. There will be a definite upgrade path for the Stage II kit from Stage I and there will also be a way to purchase the Stage II if you dont have Stage I. Ditto for the Stage 1.5 if it happens.

re: stickers, it figures! To tell you the truth, I thought that maybe they forgot it in my kit. I sort of assumed they would send one with the kit and was surprised it wasn't there. Oh well, no biggie to me

Basically I am doing stage 1.5 myself now but with 440's and CJM fuel return system. I'll probably go with the UTEC for engine management because it has so many cool features and of course some sort of boost controller (or let the UTEC do it).
I would think that a stage 1.5 would be popular but you are heading to the hairy edge without building the motor imo.

Mo Powah!

This is what I am thinking of doing also. I called GRD who is going to install my kit soon and they said wait till they get there car going with the UTEC. I am very excited about the UTEC and the Turbonetics kit. I want 400-450 RWHP. I hope with the new parts GRD can get my car to that power level safely.
