I have the money to do a stage I Hahn kit right now...I will have the money to go stage II in about a month, or I can save up during the winter, which the car is in storage and save up for a custom Stage III from Motofool...what would you guys do if you had the money to do it right now??

In your situation, I'd save the money and be patient. I think it would be worth the wait if you are intent on going turbo.

I don't know much about Bill's turbo systems, but he was very professional when it came to my hi-compression NA rebuild. I would hold out and try to do business with him first.

Maybe, instead of going balls-to-the-walls with a stage 3 setup, you could go stage 2 and use the extra $$$ to do some supporting mods like the intake mani and TB. You might also want to evaluate your current exhaust system too. It would be a shame to put all that money into a stage 3 setup and then have it breathe through a stock intake mani and then out that restrictive factory exhaust.

Just my .02 Have fun spending that green stuff!

If I was going turbo and in your situation I would wait for the stage 2 it's only a month away, that's nothing.

Then do supporting mods and do a rebuild with upgraded fuel system down the road.

i'd do a rebuild first, but then again, I have 162k miles on factory parts, and need crank machined

I also have over 100k miles. The rebuild is definiletely going to happen regardless. I won't even try to boost on my stock internals. I am just throwing around soooo many ideas right now.

1) Stage III - Hell yeah, powah!

2) Paint Job, maybe body kit - Sweet, pimpin it now!

3) Tein lowering suspension and new wheels and tires! - Also Big Pimpin' now!

I think I want the sleeper first though, just can't decide how much I want to go...I was thinking stage III because that is the highest stage I can go and still run pump gas. I don't really want to go any higher stage because I don't want to pay for that gas, or new tires all the time, but I would like more power than what stage II offers.

Im getting a kit from Bill here in a couple weeks. I have 116k on my car but im getting the t-belt done before hand and i have a ported and polished head that is going in. going to get head gasket changed too so my engine will be in pretty good condition when the turbo does on
