Think it's reportedly as good as a Stg 3 but is a 'Stg 1' conversion from Karl I believe?

Alot of people have said it's a very well worthwhile converion though

as good as a stage 3 in terms of the boost spike in mid boost??

Using this principle if you had a stage 3 and a gunship conversion would this still increase the power or would the ancillaries be not good enough for a stage 3 gunship conversion, eg, they wouldnt be able to handle the higher boost???

Gunship, ideally you need a good engine and can be done on a t3 or t34, on a t3 it designed to boost to 22psi, but when it gets to around 5k it reduces to 20 the between 6-7k to around 17 to protect the turbo.

It basically maxes out the standard injectors and the turbo, (he will recommend a 360 degree bearing the turbo and the turbo needs to be in good shape.

What you will get is fantastic throttle response and a fantastic torque figure, dont quote me but basically 290bhp and around 330ft lb.

Ment to be fantastic been in one and response was excellent.
