Budget...
If i were to lets say...be on a budget.. would it be cheaper to go straight to stage 2? or should i do stage 1... or is stage one not even worth doing(as in no difference over stock)

stage 1 is good, if you wanna go smaller than the stage 2 pulley at some point.
stage 1 gives you like 30 horses, but not really any torque. stage 2 gives more hp than stage 1, by adding more boost.. this in turn gives you torque
i think the claimed #'s are
stage 1: 235hp / 200tq
stage 2: 241hp/ 218tq
i really have no opinion on what one to get, since i decided to go aftermarket. but i hope the facts help you.
p.s. check out the STAGE KIT *sticky* at the top of the tech page

Nope they are the same . I bought stage one and it came with stage 1 and 2 instructions . It said if you have already done the stage 1 flash that you can skip to the next step in the stage 2 installation procedure.

I bought stage one and then bought a used stage2 pulley and hub, even with the special blue bolts and socket , my car runs great not even a hiccup.

Nothing , just tell them you want your stage one flash and then go home and put the 2.9 on . I suggest putting it on afterwards just incase they want to test drive it or something stupid .

No... the flashes are the same... it allows for 15PSI at peak power.... if your car won't make 15PSI b/c of still running the stock pulley... the ECU isn't gonna give it all the extra fuel it needs to compensate for increased boost.
Just like you can get the car to redline without being on the throttle hard enough to get into boost. The ECU is only gonna add fuel for the airflow it detects.
