Yeah I've just read some people have had timing and IAT temp issues on stage 2 without an intercooler but was fine after stage 2+ with an intercooler.

I work at a dealership actually, I'm not a tech but I know to wrench myself so I do oil changes and basic stuff myself but I have a tech that helps me out with bigger stuff; like a stage 3 turbo
Lucky!
I would love to do the ic and cp myself to save money but I'm afraid I'll mess something up. I mean I watched the kies motorsports tutorials and he make it look so easy.
Kies makes everything look so easy lol. I actually did my chargepipe in a pinch on ramps because my stock one blew but I had the new one already luckily. It was tedious as you have to perfectly align the chargepipe when installing it. If you're not comfortable I'd definitely take it to someone, can't go wrong with a professional doing it.
