Stage II tune vs Turbo Upgrad
Our aussie dynos read alot lower compared to US dynos for instance a stock car makes 310rwkw to 320rwkw with tune and downpipes they down 380-390rwkw so given that fact this car is making big power with bolt on turbos
I stand corrected, but that's still extremely steep. Most catless DPs go for about $12-1500. With install should still be under $2K.

I have a stage 1 Renntech GLC63 and love the low to mid range power, but the top end really dies out past 5500 rpm. I am definitely upgrading turbos eventually and keeping stock cats. I may not get the full potential, but really don't want to spend a couple grand for DP install and eventually spend the same couple grand to remove when i decide to sell the car.
To simplify, $3500 ish or more for more low-end daily drive ability or, $4500-ish for more top end power, but easily reversible if you want to sell you car alter or need to get a smog check.
Keep in mind i fully intend on taking my car to the track once they're opened up again, hence the bias towards the turbos. I also know i'm eventually moving on to a new car in about 3 years. I also don't care to make the car any louder than it already is so another reason for me to not got he DP stage 2 route.
All my opinion and personal reference of course. Cheers
