one fact taht i learned is with build engined you want to "drive them up a bit"
so its a good choice si you already have the build egnine just to keep you custom stage 1.5 TN kit and enjoy it get your engine seasoned and all. Swaping a stage 2 on the stage 1, or for all of us with have a custom 1.5 already... will still be more money worth it than a twin turbo... still cheaper to install even after the upgrade... i think it is still worth it, plus 1 single turbine pushing 550s whp ...man just imagine the sound of it

Yeah you do have a break-in. It is just like when you get a brand new car you have to take it easy for the first coulpe on thousand of miles.

Every shop will have a different recommendation for engine break in's. Some do 1000 mile easy break in's, others run em for 100-150 miles and start beating on them. Id go by the shop thats doing your engine recommendation.

Yeah, I am in the same boat. I am getting ready for my rebuild and I want something definate. I understand the the R&D wnat to keep everything on the DL but man I really need to know. I guess it is awoiting game for now hopefully not for much longer.

For now it is yes. For obvious reasons they want to make sure everything is 100% as they want it to be before anything is released.

+1 onb MIAPLAYA.... just wait up dude... you can get the engine build and enjoy maxin out your current kit as it is, wait for stage 2 and if by then you dont like it you can go twin turbo... plus you got 2 more months to save up some coin to have more options on twins turbo kits or more additions to the stage 2 kit
