4006, Star Stage 1 upgrade???
Posted by guest, Apr-19-01 07:23 AM
Well I want to get a turbo kit but I can only really afford the stage 1 right now. How much would it cost to upgrade the star stage 1 later? Would I be better off waiting and buying the stage 2 later?

its better IMO to buy the stage 2 kit because its a little cheaper that way. Might be saving a couple of hundred that way. Unless you can talk to wyatt about the upgrade price and see if he'll work with you =) I hope he does. Then you gotta worry about guages and turbo timer and exhuast..etc expensive!

hmm well wyatt told me it costs about 800 to upgrade to a stage 2. Basically all you'd need to get is the FMIC and BOV (I guess). I'm getting a stage 1 with etrim and BB, heh costs about as much as a stage 2 with all those extra goodies :P

without the intercooler though your gonna be limited to low boost. If you had a intercooler you could step the boost up a few pounds safely. The extra goodies are nice but 5psi is 5psi no matter how quickly you get to it. Think of the intercooler as an extra saftey device, not just a power adder. just my .02
