Just a note, but when Greg East and I drove our cars together, my k26/8 and his k27/6 were basically the same performance wise...

I'm sure Vitesse Stage 2 is very nice, but I could never justify the cash outlay...

Hehe, your only young once!

I seriously considered buying one of the John's S2 turbos for a shelf spare from his old stock...

Geoff, there are several good turbo options for sale on the list, some of which are not posted. I'd be surprised if your mailbox isn't full of PM's already.

Perhaps a low boost... I will race ANY street 26/8 car, and it won't turn out well for them

This was at 15.5 psi. Apples to apples.

Just waiting on an email from John... that'll determine the turbo I go with... it's between Vitesse stage II and a new K26/8 from Lindsey... I've found ways to afford either of them and not screw up much of anything.

You should be able to find a good 26/8 used on here or on ebay. I found a good 26/8 on ebay for 250.00 plus shipping.
