The choice boils down to this: If you want it punchy with no more lag than now, then stage2. Putting a stage 3 on makes it laggier, but a lot revier and will produce more power.

Stage 2 is fine for that spec. I still use a stage 2 and have a pretty good spec. Buying new you are covered by manufacturer warantee. The only difference between the two is the addition of a .48 housing on the Stage 3

thanks again lads, the stage 2 one is not from a supplier, just from a random guy selling it as hes sold his car, and never fitted the blower. it is new tho

does it matter who did the turbo? i.e are stage 2 turbos different or a stage 2 a stage 2 doesn't matter what company it came from

Can you trust the seller 100%?

As far as I'm aware the stage 2 is as per stage 1 but with a 360 bearing. Can the seller give you the paperwork for this turbo?

Now then Davie!!

What you doing over this side buddy ???

How we doing mate,
as said above really all depends on if you want response or big hp figures.

I had the same spec as you and ran a Stg 3, not much problems with lag but i ran a cam in the head aswell, dont know if this helped towards the lag or not ???
