Are you seriourly asking this question, let me ask you this.....can you tell the difference between a Honda Civic Si and Dodge Viper? Not to be a smartass (ok well a little) but seriously man, it's the only way to go fast!

actually I think the question is too vague. he should have asked if there was a signifigant difference in Stage I or I or something like that.

Its not a question that needs a poll, it should have been asked like "how much more do you love your car" or something like that.

when my kit gets installed (hopefully this weekend, tuesday at the latest) I'll be sure to message the guy and let him know what I think.

Just turbo it and feel the boost, then tell us what you think. You are going to go from 145 at the crank, to 230ish at the crank depending on what other mods u have now, and what stage kit you get. That's a lot of horse power for the money.

And I used to think my car was pretty quick before I went turbo!

After getting the turbo I went from barely beating a GS-R to barely beating a Z28 Camaro. Quite a difference. The turbo breathed new life into my car, it's completely different for the better now. And there is still more power to be made with my kit! I'm only at 7psi. Just make sure you have an exhaust, and a high flow cat or straight pipe (where applicable, heh) will help to.

With boost comes happiness
