Sweeeeet hehehehe. I've always heard stage II's need a bigger turbo and other mods. I think I'll pick up stage II's instead. Are they a good amount of performance better over the stage Is?

My stock hpop is powering them fine but I just ordered the t500 from terminator. I did the premium build which cost 1250.

You dont need a HPOP to run any injector... You could throw a set of B codes in there and it would run. Top end would suck but it would run.

A set of 180/100 ("stage 2") injectors will use about as much oil as a set of stock AD's and a hot chip...

Well this is some good news... looks like I'll be passing over the stage I's and going right for the kill at stage II's. I'm just worried about the trans (it's been freshly rebuilt) lastly

So your saying my stock trans can hold stage II's, my stock turbo can hold, I wont hit crazy egt's etc with stage II's? Man I'm irritating (even to myself) but I like to know all the facts before I make a purchase.

Your tranny will need a valve body, and possable TC upgrade to "live". It should be fine if your sane about your driving.

Turbo will be fine. 95% of the time your not driving at WOT.

EGT's might get up there when your rodding it, but otherwise just turn down the chip.
