Inquiry.

T'Would possibly be a christmas present.

Should I tune my car to stage 3?

Stage 3 is:
-3" turbo-back exhaust
-Open-air filter
-Mitsu TD04 Turbo
-Software tuning
-around 300 bhp on stock injectors, pistons, head, etc
-The ability to make this guy look like even more of a tool:

Would the stock tranny be able to take all them ponies?

I pose you another inquiry:
Should I pull out my automatic and put in a 5 speed stick in my truck?

It depends. The key is mapping the boost for a smooth N/A-like build up to redline. The stock tuning on my car is setup to make the most of the little T25, so there is a massive torque rush at around 2k and then it tails off above 3.5k (which, needless to say makes quick downshifts pretty enjoyable). If I put in a bigger turbo and mapped the boost to build slow it would actually be better for the tranny.

And yeah, put in the 5-speed. That would be badass.
