Is Pure Stage 2 the only option for us or is there a larger turbo that is more budget friendly?
Edit: just say rjd's post, I'm gonna check those out. Cheers.
Yah, I agree as well. That's definitely the right idea, to push the curve over to the right, higher in the rpms, relieving some of the stress all that low end torque puts on the engine. I also am just waiting for my stock turbo to die, assuming it will by 100k miles, but maybe not, and then I'm gonna replace with MHI.
