Gotta love eBay, just bought Stage II kit for $552!

I have been watching for a couple weeks now and found this auction with 1 minute left and bid $10 over the next highest bidder! Sweet!

$552 and my local dealer was asking $750. Now I gotta ask/tell the wife, wish me luck!

So do we have a Stage 2 write up yet, should I take some pics?

Mine was installed today by the dealer - great **** right there.

I'm completely happy with it. Except for the slipping clutch from 1sr to 2nd to 3rd.

Hey man, nice work! I'll congratulate you(instead of being like some people and telling you you messed up lol). Thats pretty smart to watch it down to the last minute, so you win in intelligence if you don't win in price =P.

hahah sweet deal there dude, ebay is always the best for stuff like that..just watch the item you want till the last hour or few minutes and if its a good price and in your price range, just over bid by the smallest ammount possible and grab it!

I really hope you dont plan on installing it yourself... That would defeate the purpose of buying a stage 2 kit... The dealer has to install it to be covered under warranty.

Unless you have a buddy who is a tech at your local dealership that knows you’re not an idiot and will sign off on the work you’ve completed. It's all really simple stuff. I'll just take the S/C out and bring it to the dealer and let him pull the pulley off for me along with the reflash.

I've got quit a lot of turbo installs under my belt so don't worry it shouldn't be a problem.

And... I don't know what you guys are talking about, $552 seems to be cheaper then $570 or $600, right? Do you guys need a calculator?

I love eBay, I just sold me wrecked/totaled Camaro for $7,600 and that's after insurance paid me $24K for the old beast!

Well our Stage 1 kit is $450 and you're lucky to get 10WHP out of it.

Stage 2 without toys, you're lucky to get 25WHP out of it...

Now Stage 3, well it just owns. Stage 3 with a 3" Exhaust, CAI, and FMIC will put down an easy 350WHP.... mmmm yummy.
