I am going to have to disagree a little. Everything will work with the stock plumbing as long as the boost is not pushed up too high. Uner 18 or so psi and the loss through stock plumbing is minimal. Just wanted to put in my 2 cents worth and problably will get back channge! [:0]

I'd agree on the UCP. Then you'll be able to get every bit of boost out of s1. The wga and boost controller really won't work as effectively w/o UCP.

I agree with you on that aspect as far as just having stage one, but I push as much as 20-22psi and if I didn't have Adam's UCP, I'd have some "issues" to say the least about my boost.

Even if you don't raise the boost much, you will feel a difference with an UCP. I did it before installing stage 1 and felt a difference right away!

Here's one of your pennies back I noticed you don't have an aftermarket ucp so you are not aware of the difference. There is a big difference between factory ucp and the VAK ucp. Last year I had to take off the VAK ucp and reinstall the factory one for a little while. It was really a bummer. The car did not have the pull that the VAK ucp gave it. It was depressing to get on my GT. When I reinstalled the VAK ucp I was on cloud 9. So the loss with the factory ucp is much larger than you think. You should get the VAK ucp as well [?]
