Default Exactly how do you do all or nothing when your car is dead...

Nothing is probably not an option for most...and he's telling you he didn't have the dough for the whole kit and kaboodle.

Default wrong -

-full stage 3 kits will only net you more power. they will not help smoothness, driveabiltity, or reliability.

Incompatibility my friend...1/2 measures.. ok get's u sh!ty running car..that's all.

-k04s are not incompatible with stock everything else. they is no incompatibility whatsoever. Put k04s in with stock ecu and everything else (except for maybe gutted pre-cats) and probably wouldn't have to address turbos until you do a complete motor rebuild from high mileage.

and is MY opinion.. either full stage 3 (pull out of my S money for it) of not do anything for now.
and i just asked why not a stg 3 made to work right.

-stage 3 won't help his problems, it will help you pull on the guy in the porsche turbo, but it's not going to help your car start. There are far more potential errors introduced when running a full stage 3 kit vs. just the inlet pipes and turbos.

It's not fair to the poster for people to tell him that he needs to buy all the other stage 3 pieces for his car to run properly.

sorry, but opinions can be wrong too ya know?
