K4 or Stage 5 Anyone?
Survey -
Who here has the K4 or Stage 5 package on there car?
Did you do a before and after dyno?
Was the results what they advertised?
1/4 times before and after?
I'm looking to add some mods this winter and wanted to see if it's really worth $15-20k. What is the best bang for the buck? My car is stock with K/N filters only. I'm going to do the pre/post dyno's and track times starting in Oct. I'll post everything I do. The only tuner/installer in NC is Kleeman at GMP so my options are limited. First track test will be next Wednesday. Thanking you in advance for your help.

Hi, I have the same year car as you. I went for a DMS upgrade at 40k miles, pulley and ecu remap, full de-restriction. Cost me 3k GBP. This car is as quick as a 997 Turbo. DMS will travel to you also. No sure what they will charge. I would'nt waste 15-20k on a Kleeman upgrade. The law of diminishing returns. Have a look at

I think Kleeman are taking the **** with thier pricing. I am so impressed with the upgrade, I am lost for words. The car is very driveable day to day and my wife also drives. Says it easier to drive than her bmw 320. Changing the tyres also made a big difference getting the power down.
