So much happiness it's making me angry....lol...
^hahaha. Yeah i had the same feeling, so i orderd a greddy ti-c and invidia catted DP. Should be here soon! Can not wait to see for myself how true it is... stage 1 was not really a noticeable increase in power so i am hoping stage 2 will make a bigger diff.

The first thing you'll most likely notice is how much faster the turbo spools and how boost comes on.

Just blipping the throttle awakes up the monster.

Map was still learning for a while, but last night i got a few good hard pulls in...

the difference is simply night and day... w/ just the G200 and stage 1 flash it was alright, not very loud but peppy...
Add the catted DP and stage 2, it pulls SO much harder and i was actually surprised how quick i hit triple digits.... i dont think i was halfway through 4th when i saw 100 lol, but im also not shifting at redline... still, at WOT taking it to like 5 or 6k is night and day difference between stage 1...

Pretty happy, just gotta get some parts and get a protune for even more fun

DAMN! I have to say I didn't think I'd feel it. I'm not sure what's more shocking the noise or the pull.

I'm looking at the TurboXS TBE (catted, for emissions sake), APS CAI, Walbro FP and I already have the AP v2. I'll be going to P&L to get tuned afterwards. What do you guys think about an up-pipe? What are the main advantages? Is it mostly quicker spool?

No real risks buying used ones, provided they have been unmarried from the previous car. (It means the previous owner was forced to load the stock map back into the car before you can use it.)

after 4 years of ownership and 86k, I finally modded my car and went stage 2 a few weeks ago. Cobb catless TBE and APv2 that I picked all up used for 1295 and well worth it.

You're right, stage 3 would be bigger turbo.
