Re[4]: IA prices

["Tom Forhan" <TFORHAN@HR.HOUSE.GOV>]

No, I failed to make myself clear. You buy stage I (+60 HP over stock) OR  stage
II (around +85 over stock) for $795. If you already bought Stage I and want to
go to Stage II, I am pretty sure there is an upgrade price substantially less
than $795.

No all machines can take Stage II, ie. the late 10v engines like mine.
Actually, the Stage I upgrade for the later engines is different than the
Stage I for the earlier engines, and fits somewhere inbetween in hp gain.
The mod, in all cases, is reprograming and a new (wastegate spring. Wastegate
spring for II seems to be stronger than I.

Confused enough? Time to call Ned @ 360-754-1411, fax: 360-956-9540

So you pay $795 for stage I, then another $795 for different software
giving you another 85 hp (total increase of 145 hp)? Correct? - Extraordinary!

Does anyone really understand what Ned is doing? If he's just extending the
max boost shut-off point from one value to another by changing some values
in a rom look-up table, why doesn't he just give you the max safe boost in
stage I? For another $795 I'd expect something more than an upgrade from
sub-optimal software to optimal. No flame > Ned intended, just wanna know
if there's more to stage II than different numbers in an eprom.
