I only did the install on the YP4”s last week and Yabeela left out two fittings , with it been lock down now I’m stuck until after the 16th to get replacements and get everything running. I had pure 800”s and Pure 900”s before the YP4”s , I’m going for power which is why I switched to the YP4”s

Its actually a really good number we done a touch up tune a few months after this and made 450rwkw but i cant find that graph
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

Upgraded turbos you will see the benefit vs stock turbos mainly in 1/4 mile trap speed and most of all 60-130 times. A stage 2 cars with stock turbos can do 60-130 probably in 8-9 seconds. And upgraded turbo car I've seen them do anywhere from 4.xx-5 seconds. That's a huge performance jump. Upgraded turbos are worth it if big power is your goal. Also the guy who said DP install costs 2800-4000$ LOL. That is horribly false info. DP install cost me $400 at a very reputable performance shop near me that works on GT3s, Ferraris and other high end MB and BMW cars.. IF budget is your concern Tune and DPs are the most bang for buck power mod on FI cars, like our W205 C63s.

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've done a bunch of research on this for this platform. From what i gathered, the stage 2 with downpipes is a good setup if you're not planning on going the track and just daily drive with the occasional spirited, much louder run. A stage 3 setup with a turbo upgrade will really wake-up the top end past 5000 RPM. There are claims that just swapping out the turbos to say a Pure 800 or similar, with get you 60+ hp on the top end with no additional tune changes. Take that with a grain of salt, but there are dyno charts out there if you look hard enough. The pickle is the cost of a proper DP installation. The cost of DPs + install seems to run between $2800-$4000 depending on your labor options; DIY, reputable shop, cutting the stock DPs, dropping the tranny, etc. Installing turbos seems the easiest process most decent DIYers could tackle on their own.
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
