If I were to get the a stage 1 turbo and then save up for say a Greddy big front mount intercooler, would that let me boost any extra than a stage 2 kit? Or would it just make it a little safer? How much and were could I get the IC piping if I did this? And how much can I get a new Greddy FMIC for? Used? What would the price comparison be:

stage 1 kit, greddy FMIC, piping

VS.

stage 2 kit

Oh yeah..... from Hahn.

MODS:

HRC 16g turbo kit, Spearco custom FMIC, Custom IC piping, VT rebuilt engine: Custom 8.8:1 compression CP pistons, Eagle connecting rods, Melling oil pump, Clevite bearings, 370cc injectors, Vortech S-FMU, Apexi N-1 catback exhaust, AFX UDP, Autometer boost gauge, fuel pressure gauge, EGT gauge, Corbin's digital A/F gauge, Tokico Blue shocks, Tein springs (1.5" drop), 18" Konig Verdicts rims, VIS stock-style Carbon fiber hood

once you wanna go past 10 psi, you have to bring fuel and internals into question

Browsing Turbo Options....

a stage 2 is a just a side mount intercooler ( front mount is $400 more) it allows you to boost more ( about 9psi) and run a bit cooler.. if you want a greddy fmic you got to find out the size and find your own local welder to do the pipes.. i would ask people who have custom fmic with there hrc kits on the list, or just buy one from hrc direct.. i got my turbo when the fmic was on sale a long time ago... hope this helps
