I saw people ordering kits and receiving turbosmart BOVs and EWGs. The reason is bc their product is more readily available than TiAl, at least to GTM. I specifically asked Sam that I wanted TiAl, just like listed on the website, and he did it. Turbosmart did not have the color I wanted for the BOVs

I was going to go with the stage 1 but then I figured, any stock Z producing 550rwhp will eventually let go, so if I'm gonna build the engine might as well build it to support more power. The spool time between the two kits is not thaaaat big and the stage 2 is capable of aprox 750rwhp vs the 550rwhp of the stage 1.

First time I hear that heh. Did that person have external or internal wastegates? Boost controller? electronic or manual? Many things can cause boost creep I don't think its the kit. But I might be wrong, it really is the first time I hear about it.
