I agree the tune at 1k is way to much money ill wait. You can almost get a standalone for that price.

Here's a link to the site that I had found with the cheaper path stage kits. I'll email them to see if their stuff works with our cars....what do you guys think?

The post above refers to shortening the waste gate arm. There are definitely some cheap easy ways to get power from turbocharged engines....

Here's a thread from the sky forum with links on how to do the waste gate mod. There's lots of good posts on results from people who have done the mod. It appears to give up to 20lbs from stock components and with no other mods. The links also take you to graphs on before and after dyno runs. As soon as I can figure out how to get at the arm I'll adjust and let you guys know the results.

I have pulled mufflers off some trucks (350 GMC and V-10 Ford F250) and gotten very cheap performance by doing it. I do not believe it voids the warranty. Cats were not touched.
