11152, What makes stage 1 into stage2?
Posted by mrlocalpimp, Oct-28-01 03:35 PM
I know its the higher boost, but how do you get this? Is it a whole different turbo? Or a different guage setting thing? Or the intercooler? If I want to get my star stage 1 turbo turning the boost a stage 2 turns, what do I need?

The only difference form stage I TO II is an intercooler.
The intercooler allwos you to run higher boost cause it cools the air.

So there isnt some boost dial on a stage 1 that stops at 5psi? Im saying what stops a stage 1 personf rom turning the boost up to 10? Is it posible, just really really unsafe without an intercooler?

That would be the wastegate.

Im saying

Nothing that a $5 bleeder valve cant change. Same as whats stopping a stage 2 guy from running 30psi. Only common sense ultimately stops anybody from attempting to boost to whatever their turbo will boost to.

Is it

yes and yes

Get an IC and piping for it and a boost controller to turn the boost up.

>Is it a whole different turbo?

No

>Or a different guage setting thing?

The HRC kits come w/ differnt wastgate actuators

IC, IC piping, boost controller to raise the boost.
