Default Stage 5 opinions or experience???

Hi Guys,
I'm looking at a Vitesse Stage 5 kit (w #83 inj. and 3.0 fpr)in the future to go with a sleeved 3.0L rebuild of my 2.5L. There will be a modified head/cam/inlet, 3" exhaust, an SFR i/cooler amongst other things. Any guesses what to expect? I know there are other variables but this will mostly be run on our 98-100 octane pump which is about your 93-96 and running about 0.9 - 1.2 bar. John is always nice and conservative when he estimates the prospective power outputs and I have tried to use the advanced search function but it comes up with too many 'red herrings' so I'm wondering if anyone is running a similar spec in their car or knows anything about this level of upgrade. Oh and Rob I have looked at your descriptions and they're helpful too but it looks like your website's been down for a few days?
T.I.A.

I have a stage V vitesse turbo with quick spool option in my 3.0. Its not the full kit just the turbo so I can't comment on that, its seems to spool up at about 2400 1-2 psi making about 8 psi 2800 - 3000 rpm, by 3200 its about 10psi but thats all it can make at the moment as it is controlled by the wastegate spring as we havent done the full setup on the Motec at the dyno. Just running a basic running in map. I will let you know results as soon as we have them.

Nick, when everything is broken in with the car, any leakage issues fixed, etc., do a trace on the A/F, EGTs, PSI, RPM, etc. Im sure with the Motec you have all these monitoring capabilities too. I would be interested to know, after your car is optimally tuned, when you make 1 bar.
