It's roughly GT28 in sizing, or from our head engineer Terry's viewpoint, good for about 400hp crank in flow.

2. Airbox. I realize that you can swap it out, but does the stock one really flow well enough for a turbo?
For stage 1, yes. Remember, this isn't a 2.5-3.0 liter sized motor, it's a 2.0. For higher horsepower builds, upgrading the air box will be recommended.

3. Fuel system. I didn't see anything posted about this. Is it using all stock parts?
While we are testing upgrades, they are just that, upgrades. Our stage 1 base kit is going to be set up for using the stock fueling. Stage 2 kits will almost certainly use upgraded fuel pumps/injectors, along with other upgrades (such as the airbox).

Quite honestly, the amount of power at stage 1 is tremendous in relation to the weight of the vehicle, the size of the motor, and being RWD.
