Wow, only $3,550? That's amazing for a stage two kit. I have been eager to see what the price is going to be.

idk if you are considering the reactive racing kit. thats the one i have, its more expensive but also comes with the xfc which is better than split second piggyback imo. the reactive kit also comes with all the tubing powder coated, and they welded in a extra o2 bung for me (for my wideband).

stage 2 your gona need to upgrade clutch (would recomend for stage1 due to the stock MZ3 clutch really only being good upto 200whp) and you will need to seriously consider upgrading engine internals if you want to push past 8psi without seriously hurting somthing.

just remember, your boosting a non-turbo engine, which means if you dont somewhat 'build' your engine for boost, your either gona get minimal gains and hurt your engine, or get good gains and hurt your engine fast.

Nicely put!! I know a few people on the 3 forums had to extensivly build up their car to handle the increase of power. The extent to which you build your car depends on the power you epexct to run.
