I forget, I think either stage 2 or stage 3. I intend to race the car a bit, so it makes sense to upgrade the oilworks.

When firing up, oil PSI goes off the scale, beyond 110. At cruise I'm around 70 I think...

If you're going for power, I'd say stage 3 is very reasonable. I don't think Rob would sell you something that's not useful. You don't just want power, you want an engine that would last.

As far as FD3S Engineering goes, they do good work, are very honest, and are good guys in general.

Rob from Pineapple is always extremely nice, and always willing to help and give his 2 cents in, and I would definitely recommend him.

But FD3S is also top-notch.

Nice man. The cruise pressure is what I was concerned with. i will be doing normal highway driving also for somewhat long periods of time so thats good.
