Picked up car. Mechanic surprised me with new vacuum lines,new gasket from DP to exhaust, and an alignment. Only been 15 miles but not pushing hard. Turbos sound sweeeeeeet. No more WG rattle, turbo spool sounds like a damn jet turbine Once I run this full tank of 91 down, will fill up with E70 and let it rip!! Will update one more time when I get some Dyno results!!!

Same here. This apps really blows.

On a different note, why no stg2 plus?

Didn't want to have to deal with tranny etc later on down the road. I think 480-500hp is plenty for daily haha. Plus the huge price difference. I paid $3300 for a fully opted out stage 2 vs a $5000 fully opted out for stg2's. Didn't want to pay that much more when I already had to upgrade FMIC, LPFP and labor.

Excellent photopgraphy skills Now get them installed and get her dialed in!

If you're already contemplating the 2+ go for the 2+. I wasn't even considering the 2+, just had my mind set on the 2.

[chepy24]

Nice!!! I'm too scared to touch meth haha

Please take it to the track so we can get some results. I would love to buy these or RB's, and some good results from the track might sway me towards these.

If it's in the low 50's here in DFW, I imagine it's at least that cold up there, huh? Ah well, maybe next year, right? I'm sure anyone who is mulling over the idea of going VTT is looking forward to seeing your dyno though (myself included). Congrats on the turbos, they look badass!
