Are you running on a stock turbo? With the list of mods in my sig, will I lose any HP/TQ with the S2s?

What I meant to ask was: Will I lose any HP/TQ at the low end with the S2s on a stock turbo?

compared to the s1's yes you will lose a bit, the s2's really pick up on top, but the stock turbo doesn't really flow great up there. So if you plan on staying stock turbo i would go with s1's

Hey James. It was good meeting you on Saturday. After talking w/ Billy some more. I think the S1's would be perfect for what you want, especially after talking to you on Saturday and hearing what you want to do w/ the car. The power will still be there and drivabilty will awesome and it wont be loud or annoying for the Mrs.
