Default Stage 2 Turbo

found a stage 2 turbo at good money and wonderd what is different about it to a standard one and how much power it will give me???

My car has got the usual chip, full stainless and pace intercooler etc

Also i have seen a polished head with piper cam for the same kind of money, any ideas which would be the best next move for the spec of my car?

I think Oranoco uses a "Stage 2" turbo...And his power is round the 250bhp mark

But obvioulsy he's got all the parts to match

The turbo itself won't give you power it will however allow you to deliver power where the standard item would throw the towel in.

Yes both my RST's uses stage 2 turbo chargers
