i talked to Brad from Hahn today. ( nice guy) and from what ive gathered from him im interested in the stage one. My question to you guys is this: what are the drawbacks to going to turbo? Is it worth it?

What are your impressions of the Hahn product?
Drawbacks: None
Well worth it!
I ran stage 1 for over 25k miles & stage 2 for over 5k miles now, with absolutly no problems. There is no more reason that a Hahn powered PT can't be a daily driver than a GT can. Now if you plan to do a lot of all out 1/4 mile drag racing you'd need to install aftermarket pistons, rods & bearings (or just get a set of GT internals) but for daily driving you need only the kit. It's a blast & the best part is that with enough $$ you can upgrade to go as fast as you want to without whinning about when DC will let you do it! Any fool can blow an engine & I'll admit that with a turbocharger it makes his job easier, so a person would maybe want to drive with a bit more care than with a n/a which would include getting the meters to monitor what's going on.

The only possible drawback (with stage 2) would be that you might irritate your friends who drive (stock) GTs. They hate getting beat by an unbadged PT... but then so does everyone else!
