If u had the money and u were goin with stage 0 ?
What upgrades would u take ? This is to stay at the 230whp and don't go over it because it's enought for u. What would u invest in as extras ?
And could u explain why, and what good does it do ?
And no stage 1 upgrade pls

1. Blow off valve. Is a must in my opinion to minimize compressor surge
2. Wideband 02 Sensor to monitor Air/Fuel Ratio
3. Emanage of some sort to give it the proper fuel<--Im selling one
4. Dezod black box possibly to help with partial throttle tuning
5. Boost gague to monitor your psi level
6. And finally a real good tune.

Ok, well I'm buying the stage 0 today so I will fill you in on what I'm budgeted and buying.

3500 budget (intial purchase)

Turbo Kit = 2200.00
Greddy RS BOV = 200.00
Megan Drift Spec 2.5" Catback Exhaust = 335.00
Gauges (Wideband/UEGO, Boost, EGT, Oil Pressure) = 350.00
TOTAL: 3375.00

For now, that is all I am getting. In one month, I will be putting on an intercooler and Emanage Blue (another approximately 550.00)

The stage 0 is already fully tuned, so you are not required to get an emenage blue or any other sort of piggyback. The only reason you will need a piggyback is if you up the boost, but if you want to play on the safe side, get an emanage and tune.

once again a questiont that couldn't of been answered by searching!

intercooler increases turbo efficiency and lets you increase the boost safetly.

also, bov, emanage, dezod blackbox, greddy pressure sensor, a/r, boost, pyrometer.

well, i guess the rules only say you have to search before you ask.

but this question has come up alot of times and i am one of many who have answered it again and again so if you really searched, you would have found a thread nearly identical to this just with different members say the same thing.

and

Why the intercooler ?
The only reason I am going with the intercooler on the Stage 0 is becuase I live in Las Vegas and it gets hot...so I have to make sure the heat is reduced.

I've been lookin in the right ones. But for a person with no knowledge like me, that's starts to figure things out from a scratch it's not that easy. Hell I just found out what FMIC means I've been readin about a thing i was researchin and I didn't even know it :D
