Stage 1 turbo

Anyone have any reviews of the stage 1 turbo upgrade ? I can’t seem to find many people who have done it. People either go stage 2 turbo or just leave fbo. Stage 1 being just the turbine I hear it’s more a supporting mod to help turbo last longer but any gains to be had with it ?

My research ended with the stage 1 turbo as a replacement turbo. I would assume same as stock turbo, so not much gain.

Pure Stage1 is about the same size as the N55 EWG turbo. So it's only an upgrade if you start with an N55 PWG

Stage 1 turbine is just a compressor wheel upgrade and turbo bearing upgrade, stock turbine. Stage 2 turbo's are is another size larger compressor wheel over stage 1 and has the largest turbine wheel possible for the factory housing fitted. It's a better upgrade over stage 1 tbh
