In about a month or so I'm going to buy an HRC kit. Problem is, I dont know which stage to get. I first planned on the stage 1 because it was cheaper, but now they have lowered the prices of both stages and I'm stuck on which one to pick. I calculated the amount of money I will have when Im ready to buy and Ill have about 3200 bucks or so. Before, that wouldnt be enough for a stage 2 but enough for a stage 1. I was willing to settle for 14 second time slips but I want to be in the 13's this year. I was going to get stage 1 then buy an FMIC and the wastegate actuator so I can run more boost. Now that stage 2 is cheaper, will it be better for me to get stage 2 with a FMIC and already have the actuator or just get stage 1 with a FMIC and get an actuator later? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I think you answered your own question... you want to run faster time slips and you know you won't be where you want to be with a stage 1.... sounds like you are in need of the stage 2 with the FMIC upgrade...
You will be happy either way smokin' honduhs and rustangs... why not get a little more for what you where ready to drop for a stage 1... just my 2 cents...

The $300 is on top of the $2895 if you want the FMIC. You might consider getting the stage one, a used FMIC, $50 manual boost controller, and custom piping. You should be able to save a few bucks doing that.

Whatever you do dont unplug the wastegate!!!!!!! J/K go with the stage 2 with FMIC. It cost me close to that to fabricate my FMIC useing the side stage 2 pipes. So I could just imagine having to do all the piping , since you couldnt use any of the stage 1 piping. Good luck on what you decide. SEE YA!!!!!!!!!MWC

Thanks guys, I might just go with the stage 1, I know a turbo shop that can make some custom pipes for me for close to nothing.Stage 2 wouldnt leave me with much money left to spend. While the stage 1 would. Thanks again for all of your advice
