thank you for an incredibly helpful post. all this stuff has been a mystery to me. however, nothing was stated about the 57 trim that seems to be the default option for this kit. whats the diff? if the 50 trim is the best all around street choice, why is the 57 the baseline?
60 trim is really the base kit. You can get a 57. It will spool as fast as a 50, but make less power than a 50 or 60. If you don't want to pay the extra $100 for a 50, and want something that spools slightly faster than a 60, then get a 57. Then again, the 60 works so much better, and the difference is near nothing in spool, just get a 60.
The 60 is really the base turbo. 57 is just another option. Honestly, I would never recommend a 57 trim.
Hey Nick will the Rc 650cc work fine with the stage 2 and of course the turbo kit and all fuel mods??

For stage 2, if you want to run over 20psi, we recommend the 750cc since the stage 2 computer already leans out the signal for the stage 2 injectors. With 650cc you can't go negative enough to get good timing.
nick sorry to keep bothering you one more question when i get your turbo kit with my stage 0 04 what is the max psi i can run
then in what sequence do i need parts and what boost then can i turn it up

Don't know if this is true or not but I thought I read somewhere here that the S2 pcm will only work with the S2 Siemens injectors. Has anybody with S2 tried switching them yet to see?
Also, Nick can you explain what the turbo restriction is if you use a smaller intake with an adapter? I was going to use my AEM but use a 3" to 2.5" silicone coupler for the turbo.
Well, try sucking through a 2.5" tube vs a 3". The turbo inlet is a 3" and when you try to suck through a 2.5" its just going to cause a restriction. Turbos move tons of air, and you don't want to have all sorts of restrictions and size changes.
It will work since you already have it, but for people who haven't bought anything yet, get a 3" intake.
We have used both 650 and 750 injectors with stage 2 ecus without an issue.
Its suppost to be around a 20g turbo. The 20g wheel is smaller than a 50 trim, so its smaller than any of the turbos listed. Without knowing what housing and how its setup, there is no way to really rate it. Either way, a t3/t4 setup is the way to go. With stage 3, its still all one piece. If you get a 50 trim now with our kit, and decide you now want to make 600hp and want a bigger turbo, then you just swap the turbo out. Won't cost more than a few hundred bucks. Plus, rebuilding t3/t4 is cheaper and easier to do. If something happens to your stage 3 turbo, your looking at an expensive bill.

Good job so far on the Turbo guide. This will definitely help the less knowledgeable people like myself.
Maybe an idea to add would be your info/opinion on the combination of using the Mopar Stages 0, 1, or 2 along with your Turbo upgrades. What are the advantages/disadvantages of using one Stage over another in conjunction with the AGP Turbo upgrades? Does one Stage over another create difficulties that the others don't? If there is answers to these kind of questions maybe you can help.
