Looking for C32 performance upgrades, hoping for Stage I
Hey everyone, I am new on here so be patient with me, lol. But I am looking for a Stage I upgrade for my C32, my car is completely stock now and I just do not want to spend $2,000 on the kit from eurocharged. To be honest, any performance upgrades will be considered.

If you're really looking to make you car faster, you would need a larger crank pulley or smaller supercharger pulley from eurocharged. When doing so, I believe you gain +/-20 whp. If you add a tune from eurocharged you'll gain another +/-20 whp. You should also get a pulley saver kit from them as well to prevent belt slippage. The issue is that you will need to upgrade your heat exchanger because with the increased boost, your car will overheat and won't run the way it should. The smaller supercharger pulleys are cheaper than the crank pulleys if I remember correctly, if you wanted to save a couple hundred bucks. I think when you add up all those upgrades, you should be somewhere in the ball park of $2k anyway. All I have is a sl55 intake currently but I have been eyeing these upgrades for a while.

A heat exchanger is just the intercooler right? and I've been wondering if a tune from eurocharged would be the same as going to a place that dynos and tunes my car, do you by any chance know the anser to that?

A heat exchanger helps transfers the heat away from the cooling system. Search the c32 forum on here and you will find many threads regarding these upgrades. I believe the difference between a eurocharged tune and a dyno tune is that the dyno tune is going to be custom. If you're going with mild upgrades, such as pulley and intake, I would go with a eurocharged tune.
