Hmmm, maybe a good time to sell my stage 2?

Hi Jeremy, You still have the Stage 2 from years back? Didn't you sell the car? I need to keep track of this stuff

You need to hurry and get your Stage 5. We are still getting prices from our supplier, it's not pretty.

No I still have the original stage 2 ( it's about 3.5 years now?) and it has been an awesome turbo. It doesn't blow a drop of oil, I make 15 psi below 3K, and it holds 20 to redline with ease (oops on that one). The motor will be coming out this summer for the 3.0L so we'll be in touch soon about the stage 5.

Sad and exciting at the same time.. I'm sure Vitesse will "wow" the 951 market once again.. I can't wait to hear further developments

How much of a increase are we expecting to see? No doubt the turbo will be better since yours just keep getting better and better

Tim, I do not have an exact % on the price increase which will be in effect starting the 24th. I am still negotiating and evaluating alternatives. Some components and machine work went through the roof...
I'm sure something positive comes out of all of this. The main reason for this post is to let people know that existing quotes are valid through the 23rd.

bummer, I’ve been eyeing a stage 2 kit for some time… but never quite had the funds…. (kids travel hockey) I’ve been very happy with my Vitesse chip and look forward to your future offerings.

I'm glad you like the chip. The Stage 2 kit is a great kit. At the moment I have some left, not sure how long I'll have them. Hopefully, when you are ready, I can assist you.

John,

Why discontinue the stage 2 kit when it seems to be the absolute perfect kit for a street driven 951 whose owner isnt looking for crazy rwhp #s, but instead a kit that has a phenomenal area under the curve and lighting quick spool?

I understand the higher stages arent necessarily that much of a compromise in terms of streetability, but it seems strange to me to discontinue such a popular kit.

RogueM3, My cost of the the Stage 2 has gone through the roof. I have not decided 100% if I will deiscontinue it, or make it a custom order kit.

My goal is to provide top notch performance, yet at reasonable prices... Many new innovative products are on the way!!!!

I will say that if/when I ever purchase a new turbo kit and all the goodies for my car, the VR stage2 is higher on the list than the stage3.
