The Stage 2 piping mods I do not have the final answers on. Yes it looks like Stage 2 will likely have a GTK turbo as part of it. And yes as I said before there will be an upgrade path for Stage 1 or Stage 1.5 owners to go to. If you have Stage 1 you could buy a 1.5 or 2 upgrade kit. They will all also be available as a complete kit.

Lookin good!

Hopefully now people won't call me "retarded" for suggesting the possibility of a turbo more efficient than a Garrett GT Series turbo. I can't wait to see what these are really capable of.

There is no doubt in my mind that as soon as these come out, your car will have one on it. I am not a mind reader but I figured that one out....

Oh and when you do, I want a ride to verify the improved performance.
