400 to 450whp
Ok I know the Dyno Dynamics #s are less then most of the average dynos ..... so what stage would I need to push between 400-450 whp on a average dyno?
Also I saw some where that Stage 3 costs 5K but dose that also include all the stuff in stage 1+ ? or is the 5K extra on top of the Stage 1+ ?

stage 1+ in addition to the stage 2 turbo kit will get you to your goal of 400-450whp, on 100 octane gas. For that you're looking at ~ $6000 (Does not include install prices, shipping, or CA sales tax if you're a resident of CA)

Cool thanks for the info ..... do I need to go stage 3 to get that on 91 crap gas that we have in Vegas?

Install shouldnt be a big deal ... as I have friends that use to work at Dynamic Auto Sports down in Lake Forest, CA

Study before you post. The favored AMS kit is $4199. That does not include $450 for injectors. Vishnu's kit includes injectors. So AMS's kit is more affordable at $4649. That is $350 less. I don't think the AMS kit will bolt on to your Vishnu test pipe or high flow cat, you will probably pay a muffler shop another $100 to match them up, lowering the difference to around $250. At this point, many of us will not decide based on price point, as both kits are in the same general ballpark.
That being said, the AMS kit is freaking bad-a$$ and a bit less money, and it comes with an intake system. So kudos to AMS. The Vishnu kit has a much lower profile exhaust manifold that can retain the stock heat shield and stock intake system, which is great for the stealth factor, among other things.
They are both on back order, by the way. You can't go wrong with either.

D'oa! Smoggy, why didn't you warn me!!
Come on admit it, you're a torque junkie and you're addicted!
I'll tell you a secret, the car gets real quiet when you launch at 7000 and your done with second gear in 3 1/2 seconds
You'll be raiding the piggy bank to feed the parts bin and buy race gas!



TME turbo. With racegas, a stage 2 should easily get you to your goal...
