For sure! I'll probably take a bunch of photos along the way, and post a write up once I'm up and running perfectly. I'm hoping to have the car done by mid Feb. then I can squash out any issues before it starts getting used heavily in April.

You will NOT be dissapointed, my stage II quick spool still plasters a big grin accross my face when it pegs 20psi. Runs like a watch after a year+.

I let a guy who owns a high end car place in Houston take mine for a thrashing, he could not get over how hard the turbo came on low down. Kept saying, "it reminds of my friends GT2". While a GT2 would actually smoke my car in a big way, it was a hug compliment.

I'm waiting for the St2 turbo. Looking forward to doing some back to back tests with Thomas' St3 and all of the Lindsey goodies.
Compared to the St2; i expect the St3 to be laggy as h...
Luckily there are no long straights in Norway. He will never catch up

I see, so that's where your efforts have gone to Fast.
No problem Fast I understand. Anyway, even if it's
posted I doubt many can pinpoint which turbine you're
using unless they're the generic types that's being used.

On a good note, a racer in FL was using brand X Stage x Turbo.. He was down on power in comparison to others in his group.. He was in the mid 300 range, and couldn't do better.. He switched to a Vitesse Stage 3, and picked up 60rwhp at the same boost level, and a much larger area under the curve.. Let's wish him luck at Sebring this weekend.

So the nearly $4,000 kit includes a mystery turbo?
Do you offer ANY information to at least hint what we're recieving?

This is nothing new, call any Tuner each will have specific things they do and will not tell you the info.

Vitesse products do perform as expected and customer service is as good as it gets.

IMHO, as a satisfied customer

It's not a "mystery" turbo, it's "magical"
