I went to the agp web site and could not find install instuctions and they do not even list the PT GT WGA, could you post the instructions?
Are you running it with the stock set up or between the tan and brown lines bypassing the #2 solenoid, if so how does the pressure bleed off. Are you using a MBC or EBC between it?
It seems we would still have a problem with the surge/bov opening up?

Does the wastegate make that big of a performance difference?

Hey Tommy,
WOW !!!!! It like a new stage-1 and then some. My Pt really takes off now you can jump from 40mph to about 80mph in a couple of sec's. If you got stage-1 and liked it this will be as much if not more fun..
Cant wait to get to the track and see what it will do I think Lakeland {1/4 mile} and maybe Sunshine {1/8 mile} Are still open.

Don, read my posts under "I Don't Need Stage 2 Anymore" for a detailed install. The heat shield bolts are on tight and will require a 6-point 3/8th socket to break them loose. I broke a 1/4" drive socket on mine. The bolts are made of a copper/bronze material and you could end up stripping the head if the socket slips.
If I had to do it all over again I would have removed the intake manifold for easy access. The bolt heads on the heat-shield are 10mm. Once you have them broke loose you can use a 10mm combo-wrench for those with tight clearances.

Good luck on your install,

Deen
