I have a 3147 kit coming. I'd like to hear some feed back. I want throttle response and decent power. That's why no 50 trim..(yet). Want very little lag. I want on demand highway driving response.
Adding to what's in my sig I have coming:
3147 kit
Dtec/gb advanced
Walbro 255
RC 750's
AGP tranny mount
DCR OIL SYSTEM
DCR clutch
DCR 55mm throttle body
DCR T-Shirt (LOL)
I think I'm ready...for now and any future upgrades on the turbo side.
hmmm this might be a good thing to keep in mind for the future when stage 3 gets too slow for me
with a little bit of work in the exhaust mani/turbine housing of your stage3, you will make more power than the 3147. it [sgt3] is a healthy bit larger than the 3147, its just your exhaust mani thats preventing you from making that kind of power

You will still have lag even with the 3147 kit. I've found you need to downshift to get the turbo spooling, no more mash the throttle and go like with the factory setup. However you'll find yourself passing other people at 110+ MPH instead of 80

stage3 is larger than the 3147...meaning it can flow more cfm than the '47. the restriction on the stage3 is the manifold. its a poor design. however, opening it up will lead to significant improvements. the compresor housing is also a .73A/R too, which means even more capabilities, again as long as you open up the crappy manifold
listed below is compresor wheel sizing. if you note, the stage3 is SIGNIFICANTLY larger! the reason that stage3's arnt making that much power currently, is because there are only a handful of us tuning stage3 cars. most just install and go. look at the facts my friend. not knocking the '47. just showing numbers

OK we undestand, but there is no denying that stage 3 has made some unimpressive numbers. And for the amount of money you end up putting into stage 3 with porting and such you can make far more power with a AGP kit and the same amount of money. I am not saying power is everything here as we all know how impressive the spool and response of Stage 3 is. And the amazing track numbers it has.
I am not knocking Stage 3 as I think it is a great kit, but I think that if you are spending over 3k as an initial cost not many are gonna wanna spend even more to port it and make more power.
I think the APG 3147 is great because if you are unsatisfied with the 3147 you can always upgrade to the 50 trim as it will bolt right up which is advantage over stage 3.
