WORKS CARB Stage 2 Installed! Review

Just got the WORKS stage 2 turbo installed at WORKS Motorsports on my 2015 RS 1.0 about 2 weeks ago. I took 2 weeks to drive the car so I can give a fair review on the kit based on my own opinion. Before anyone go crazy with criticisms why I should go with a different kit or go SC instead of turbo, here are some of the reasons why I went with WORKS.

1. First and only Turbo with CARB certification (I think). I daily drive this car , look so much better with that CARB exempt on if pulled over by CHP
2. Always loved turbo cars over SC
3. WORKS Motorsports is about an hour drive from where I live. Good local support, reputation and experience. Only full motorsports shop near me that actually develop and install their own kit.

My own personal opinions of the WORKS Stage 2 Turbo Kit.
Performance - On the dyno the car made about 210 whp and 200 torque (can't find the graph now but will put up soon). I have a K&N drop-in filter, Private Label catted front pipe, and the TRD cbe that came with the RS 1.0. Honestly the car feels great when under boost, feels like more than 210 whp. Very stock like driving when not under boost. #s can be different due to many things (choice of drop-in filter, exhaust setup, weather, etc.)

Price - I paid about $6800 that included the Stage 2 kit with calibration, installation labor, Eneos Synthetic Motor Oil Service, Dyno ($99 for after install, did not get the baseline dyno).

Customer Service - Harry provided me with awesome customer service. Installation completed according to estimated time given. They gave me a loaner car when I dropped off mines. Pictures were provided to me. Will definitely go back for more goodies.

My future plans for this car:
-Stage 2 clutch (exedy maybe)
-Better rims/tires/suspension
-Flex fuel kit (e85 & 91)
-Maybe different exhaust setup

Putting up pics soon.
