    Well atleast you have a lift, makes things a whole lot easier. LoL I'm sure a few beers would make things a bit harder.

    well... td04 to vf39... not to hard, right?
    down pipe and up pipe must be undone to unbolt old turbo anyhow.. tmic has to come off any how...

    I think we can do this.

    I think I'll be frustrated by.... 7pm.

    This is easy stuff, but don't forget it's a good idea to prime the turbo before you start the car. Have fun!!!!:)

    well, we just flashed it too stAGE TWO.... it was not that hard....
    i could not find a #57 drill bit anywhere for the restrictor pill. musashi says that a 3/16" restricto pill may work fine... but, I thin I will order the drill bit. The injectors will have to wait untill I get a tune scheduled.

    You could also just purchase an sti pill from the dealer for a couple bux. That way if you sell the stocker, it'll come complete with lines and pill (much less headache for the next buyer... ask 1_sik_rex). Matter of fact I think I have a couple extras sitting around if you want one.

    ohh... hells yes!!!, I gots some serious rubbles!!!!

    the axcel back section looks kinda smallish, and no agressive slant. other than that I'm very happy!

    Stage two is fun, butt...... it makes a case to just ditching the vf39. The actual difference is so small in comparison to the 20g, it's not even woth while.

    Anyone got some opinions on stage 2, vs. ots cobb vf39?

    I dont know that the vf39 isn't worth while. I am pushing my td04 to about it's limits and a vf39 would give me quite a bit more up top. Stage 2 with a td04 vs a stage 2 with a vf39 is a noticeable difference. But he 20g would definitely be more fun.
