I ordered my stage 2 w/ toys just now, and am awaiting for lorenzo to contact me back about the trottle body and maxxfab about my exaust.. what a waste of money!!!

 

How is that a waste of money...? You'll be uber fast now. LOL. Maybe not uber fast....but faster.

 

Got all those - and I can say - not a waste - don't feel bad about throwing 2 g into the car - you will smile after you put it all in and feel the difference, I promise.[sm=itsok.gif]

 

i just dumped almost 4k into the car in the last three weeks....don't feel so bad

you'll definetly think that it's worth it when you get everything put in

 

Ya I guess not. We'll see in 2 weeks when I get stage 2 installed. Thats when he said I would get it anyway. whee. I got about 4k in my car now.. eee.

 

LOL I have 3K into my car and I'm still barely any faster than I would've been stock. All show some go thats me!!! Stage 2 is a waste of money IMO. You can go faster for cheaper. But to those who dont wanna tune, Stage 2 rawks. To each his own. Youll be happy when its on though.

 

it's not just a matter of not wanting to tune...i don't particulary love partial throttle boost problems, nor do i want to deal with melted lines, busted wga's, mbc's changing boost levels whenever it feels like it, playing vacuum line lottery, electrical problems, and all the other junk that goes along with it. i prefer to just drive my car rather than having to fix it constantly.

i know plenty of people that went the s1, wga and mbc route. most of them are unhappy with the way that their cars run and the problems that they are having. in fact, a few have decided to go with s2 and drop the other parts due to the problems, s2 has much better drivability imo/ime.

 

i have to agree with them. it seems we all have pretty much the same mods (S2/3 inch turboback/FMIC/intake/throttle body in my case) and i run way better than a modded S1 car or stage o car not to mention the fact that psi said i never have to deal with my car like the other guys do. my friend has a S-0 with greddy e manage/agp wastegate and it seem like he is ALWAYS messing with his car in between adj. the wastegate checking lines cuz hes not boosting as much, reseting the check engie light, making sure his hardpipes are conected BOV is oiled and whatnot. and i still beat him. to me it wasnt wasted money. youll be happy when you planting your kidneys in the seat getting on the freeway.

 

Oroch do you have to oil bovs?

 

in the winter you should oil your bov to ensure that it does not freeze. a lightweight gear oil is the best choice.
