Default upgrading

do you think i should buy the mopar stage 3 with turbo toys, or buy the hahn 20g turbo, and the bigger injectors etc etc down the line cus that stage 3 doesnt put out enough power for what im looking for so didnt think getting that would be worth it if i wanted to upgrade my turbo further...so should i just avoid the s3 or is it good to have, the only thing i really like is the toys but, idk help....

The decision for spending that amount of money can only be made by you. There are pro's and con's to both. You need to further define what youexpect out of each mod and evaluate how important that is to YOU.

Like they said it's up to you and where you want to go. I know how it is because when your first starting out you kinda know but dont know where u want to go. Money is always the big one... if you dont have that problem then you can always go for the best which in turn requires a lot of tuning and such. It's all up to u.

i can make this a lot easier on you!...just send me a money order with the amount, i'll put it on my car and tell you how hit works (either one {s3 or 20g turbo}) and then you can go from there. ill be glad to let you be my sponsor!!!![sm=drooldude.gif] for real though, i would probably go with the stage kit since it already comes with the bigger turbo and everything you need to support that. if i had the $ i would for sure get the toys even though i dont know how to use them, they at leat look cool!!! i would do a lot of research and find out if you cant get the s3 from a business that might let you peice it together with a 20g turbo. what size does the s3 come with neway?

The stage kits are for guys like me.. Drivers NOT Tunners.. I never want to tune my car. Once a stage kit is in you are done... nothing more needed.

I want to be able to jump in my car.. .run it hard and not worry about EGT's or A/F or Timming getting pulled etc...etc...

If you like to tune cars and watch gauges to see what is going on... get a aftermarket kit..

I would get stage 3. Easy clean install and it's all there for you. I don't really want to tune my car either... I'd like the learn but I'm jus too lazy. Stage 3 really is good though. I'm planning on getting it in a couple months depending on where I'm gone be stationed.

the hahn kit is actually producing less hp than the s3 with the same mods. it seems to max out at about 390 hp on race gas.....i do that on pump.

the s3 kit comes with a td05 housing w/td06 compressor wheel. it also comes pretuned and all that good stuff. you can always modify it to get more out of it if you want, such as adding other bolt ons, fuel control, etc.
