Hard to explain, but it feels better, yet stock at the same time. Very easy to daily drive.

I would say your wtq goal is probably even more important than your whp goal. What is it? I am around 360whp, but around 320wtq....and that is more than the stage1 really can handle. It is working fine, but there have been a few spots where i catch it slipping under hard driving/shifts...so in the end, i will need a new clutch soon, as i bump my power up.

if you are like most and running a bigger turbo, with less wtq, then the stage one will probbbly work for you, as 350whp on those setups usually runs like 250-280 wtq, which i am sure this stage1 would handle fine.

Cant tell you much about the stage 2, as i have only tried the stock and exedy stage1 on this car.

Hope that helped a bit.

appreciate the great input. to be honest i'm not going to go more than 350 but the wtq deal is a great question. i guess there is a blank there in the equation that i need for the answer. i may be running a t4 and trying to attain 350hp so i'm not sure where that would put the wtq at. seems for what i'm trying to do or interested in for the matter is around 180-270wtq

thank you for the input though!!
