I got the stage 2 kit and I love it! The difference IS noticeable. I highly recommend that the system be installed with the supplied in-line fuel pump.
Awesome! My problem was I had incorrect S-AFC settings due to my 440 injectors, as well as my FPR set too low. the result was bad, buy even on only 5 PSI and those items mentioned, the Freaking car flew. P.S I have an auto as well. SEE YA!!!!!!!!!MWC

Not one problem at all. I bought it this past summer. I have an automatic as well. But an eclipse RS 97. This kit makes you go FAST, FAST, FAST. You will not believe how fast you car is. I originaly bought the stage one and made a custom cold air intake from the compressor to the fender. Boy, I thought that was fast. Then I got the stage two upgrade. I was wrong about thinking the car was quick with the stage one. Stage two makes this car hot rod worthy. Sure feels great to match a S2000 on the top end. I pushed 8 psi, never more. And still it was fast. The only time I ran the strip with it, was when I had the stage one. In summer heat (95+), I ran a 16.4 @ 83mph. This is with 5psi (No boost controller yet). I estimate this car would have ran a very low 15 or high 14 with the stage two at 8psi. That would be an extra 50 horses with a colder air charge. Imagine night time cruisin.

Heh, I will as soon as I get these HRC pipes and starion intercooler in. (hopefuly this wkd) I've already emailed you about my positive impressions JEff. Plain and simple awesome!
Beautiful turbo, manifold and best of all, a fuel system that's been researched. You will not be disappointed.
Hey Sal, any chance we could get some pics on that cold air intake setup?

I have the HRC stage 2 pipes with add-ons. Ray (MWC) managed to get some regular piping and cut them to fit the starion at the ends.
For a Starion on a STAR kit, I would buy only the piping and make modifications to the Starion so that it could mimic the STAR FMIC in inlet locations. That's basically what was done for us. You either do that, or get someone to cut and weld some mandrel bent piping for you.

Stage 2 plus some other goodies here. No 1/4 times though, haven't really had it on the track. Plus I don't have slicks, and we all know how well FWD's hook-up. It is a real blast on the street though. Joe 97 GS w/ Hahn stage 2 Keep cruisin' & keep the shiny side up. http://joeseclipse.homestead.com
