If you plan to really bomb it and don't mind MAJOR smoke, then you can add the stage 2. I don't mind a little smoke, but I drove a truck with a stage 2 and some don M mach III's with a stocker turbo.... O-M-G.... the smoke was ridiculous!!! Anything other than driving with an egg on the pedal and it would blackout the entire road.

IMHO, those stage one and stage two's are really only useful on a truck with quickspooling twins and other big mods.

If what you want is 550-650hp you need to get a stock so pump. HRVP don't make as much hp with fueling boxes as a stock so pump. If you want to go bigger go with the monster pump. Talk to Mark at Coaltrain Diesel Performance 419-392-1678.

I would Go with a Monster. The HRVP is for stock motors. If you use a box with it, Dont expect anything more than what you'd have with a SO vp. Read the HRVP post. And yes, Coaltrain can help you out with anything you need including a Transmission .

HOLY CRAP stock turbo! the stage 2 is for twin or big single trucks!


Call Mike @ M&J tool and Fab, he builds the pumps! vpmonsterpump.com he will get you what you need! He also has a stage 1 pump that you would like

I've got a stage 2 and it is WICKED!!!! I cant say anything bad about it
