A couple of weeks? Why is it going to take a couple of weeks to install the products?

I would recommend you stage 2 and add the high flow cat, aem boost controller and the water/menthol injection. Nothing will be able to touch you.

I agree with MadMods. Dave says stage II is just about a one hour upgrade - believe me - you will upgrade to stage II, may as well do it now and have 300+whp from day one!

Dave has been in a 'dealin' mood lately, he might even sweeten the pot!

Mad, just finished mine up today. What nozzle did you use. Are you going to tweek on the timing or was it just for octane boost.

Rita is back in my hands and in great condition, I dont know if there are any words that describe how pleased I am with the Upgrade/mods that PerformanceAutoWerks has done to her. Please see the list below.

They did one hell of a job. I hope to post some pics soon but I am to busy at the moment.

Dave and Gregg I thank you both for your time and consideration for making this happen. I dont belive that a real GXP could have filled my need for what I wanted.

If any of you had any douts about bucking up for that Turbo, let me tell you its worth it.
