As I suspected I am finding myself daydreaming and brewing up way's to improve my PSD everyday, and get creative in how to convince the wife why I need a better turbo or why I need a stage 2 intake :D

But my Q is Is the stage 2 intake worth the 700 clams they want for it? I know the cooler/more air you have = better performance but does performance = cost? and milage? any advice would be helpful.

The turbo will have to wait still tryin to bribe the wife to get the intake, I know I sound pathetic but anyone who is married with kids knows, performance upgrades are a hard sell ;) Well not too hard but ya get the drift.:thumbs

I have only had my PSD for 2 weeks and already I feel the darkside of the force taking over, I could get alot of clams for the front room dining set :roflmao

700 clams? You need to check out some of our sponsors web sites!!!! You should be able to get much cheaper. I have it and like it by the way. Bryan

Is something wrong with your turbo? There's a whole bunch of mods out there that may be better than replacing something that ain't broke. FWIW, I understand about justifying mods when you've got kids at home. :thumbs

Yeah I wouldn't be replacing the turbo till it's needed, which may be never, but it's perfectly fine and you shouldn't be needing all that extra power.

P.S. like whataburger said, 700 big ones is WAY too much for the stage II, thye sell for around $500

I want to say that I seen it for $300 at fourwheelparts.com for the 7.3 though. I have the Stage II and like it.

Man, y'all need to learn. He needs to justify $700 for a $400 intake. ;) ;) ;) Once he has the $700, he can spend the $400 on the Stage II, and have $300 to spend elsewhere :thumbs Gauges seem to run about that much. Maybe tell her they came with the intake:D
