Here's my question to you all, what should I get for around $2500? This would be of course after getting gauges and a turbo timer. I was thinking either Buschur's stage 2 or Vishnu's stage 1+. Then again there's also Automotosport's stages. This is my daily driver, so it would need to be reliable...but on the same token loudness does not bother me. Suggestions?

 

I haven't researched much, but I've come across the APS Stage 1 Kit. The exhaust is the same shape and design as the stock one, only larger (angled cut). It retails for what, $2400 or so. Gets you up there in horsepower, of course, and the catcher is this.. You can upgrade to the Stage 3 kit without removing any of the APS Stage 1 parts.

Currently saving up for one of them bad boys.

 

And from what I've been told, any Stage kit you get will only improve efficiency and reliability of your vehicle. Opens everything up for better breathing and/or cooling (if you decide to get a larger intercooler or what have you).

Once again, saving up for one of them bad boys.

 

I haven't heard anything bad about vishnu yet if I were you thats what I would go with. Plus they have great followup if you need other tuning stuff afterwords etc.

 

Hmmm would it be better to just get a turbo upgrade like that RnR kit from a few threads ago?
