37711, Questions about going stage 2 -
Posted by EclipseRST, Jan-21-03 05:12 PM
Hey guys. I'm a stage oner and before summer starts I want to be intercooled. Right now my only mods are the HRC stage 1 and thermal 3" and ractive strut braces. Anyway, here are the questions...

1. Does the stage 2 upgrade from Hahn just include the intercooler and piping?

2. How would I go about running 5 psi on a stage 2 instead of the 7-8? I only want to run 5 on stock internals.

3. How much does a missing link cost?

Thanks guys. :D

I think the only main differences between the Hahn Stage 1 and 2 is the intercooler, piping, and the wastegate actuator is set to run 7-9psi instead of 5psi. So unless you swap the actuator, you'll still be running only 5psi intercooled. You can always just buy a boost controller later and turn it up if you want to.

Also, I'll probably be selling my Hahn sidemount intercooler and piping in the next couple of months, so keep an eye on the For Sale list.

I can't remember how much the Missing Link costs, but you can buy it from Group 5 Motorsports. Use the Search option for this thread and you'll find the link for it.

Hope this helps.

IC and piping. Comes with a new wastegate actuator to run around 8 psi. You can keep in your current one and just use that, but you will see about a 1 psi pressure loss because of the IC. You will see around 4 psi. But then you can get a manual boost controller to up the boost back to 5 if you like. But beware, boost controllers are your first step into boost addiction!

Hey Patrick, hit me up before you get rid of that stuff. I will be in the market for a sidemount and IC piping in the next couple months...
