Probably from some stupid performance shop's shit like Gentech....then again, if it's anything like Gentech I don't think he can afford it....

Have a look at their prices for each stage....BUT KEEP IN MIND each stage's price is ASSUMING you've already purchased the previous stages....rofl

Hi Charlie,

I recommend you go down one of two paths. The first being that you read as much as you can on this forum before making any form of decision or asking conclusive questions, and two.. If you cannot be bothered to do the reading, simply state how much power you want or how fast you want to go along with how much money you want to spend and go see a local reputable performance mechanic.

WIthout a reasonable knowledge of cars and motors OR a will to take a great deal of time learning, using a good mechanic is your absolute best option.

GL

LOL. some of the things on the list definately make for big power upgrades, like:

- Custom cast alloy rocker cover garnish

- Cast alloy thermostat housing

- Numerous cable ties

- Odyssey battery

- Several bolts

Re-enforce welds on floor pan and intake manifold, or is that what the bolts are for??

Also to make the most of your stage 2 turbo you will need at least the following

Stage 1 > ecu and fuel system upgrade, driveline brake and suspension packages

Stage 2 > filters, exhaust and intercooler

Stage 3 > weight reduction package,tyres and NOS

Your NOS bottle will refill itself automatically as you perform drifts, tricks or hold you racing line

You will also need drift wing, widebody kit, pearlescent paint with matching tint, neons and at least 20inch (preferably 22inch) wheels for reputation points and street cred. And dont forget carbon fibre, lots of it, and not the stick on stuff, thats for posers

Dont listen to these guys telling you your inlet manifold will blow or floorpans will fall out, that only happens in the movies. :P .

so amongst all the crap charlie you need to really identify your current mods, how much you want to spend and what power you want to make

as the power goes up, so does the spend and the rate at which things break so be reasonable, ie dont say your happy with 300rwkw and want to spend 3k

be realistic and you should be ok

a basic GTST with std turbo is good for 200rwkw

a mild GTST with hiflow is good for 250rwkw

a mildish GTST with internal large is good for 300rwkw

a heavy GTST with external large is good for 350rwkw

so pick your target, again, each power band, the cost goes up exponetially
