For those of us who actually tune off a wideband, my afr's are in the mid 11s under full throttle at 15psi. I am running the R-Tek 1.7 with 680 secondarys with a .50 trim T04E turbo. The BNR doesn't even come close for what money your going to spend. That's all I am saying about that.

I think the stage 1 is pretty legit, a little on the pricey side but anything after that stage I agree is overpriced based on the results I've seen from them. What wideband are you running, i'm probably going to be picking one up in the near future and could possibly need a hand with the installation if I need to weld in a new bung.

Check out their website and then make your decision. If you plan on going with a bigger turbo you will want a 1.7 or higher.

Hey, Cory. The differance in the SA strut tubes are they are about an inch longer than the FBs. You can use the FB strut cartridges, but you would have to make a spacer to go in the bottom of the SA strut tube. Another alternative is to use the suspension from the SE and rock with that. All you would need is the strut assemblies, and the rear end. That way you could run more wheel options. That's what I would do.

The BNR stage 1 is still an overpriced joke. Your getting a factory turbo with a differrent compressor wheel. Hardly worth the price. A rebuild kit is a little over $100, and the compressor wheel is less than $50. So tell me again what you are paying for? I told you a while back that we could drop a T04E on there for less than the BNR, and you would have a new turbo.

The wideband that I am running the NGK AFX. Long is running a AEM. Both are fine, and any wideband is better than a narrowband.

i'm with sam. u could swap in an SE suspension so u can us the FB strut cartridges along with a better lug pattern AND disc rear. or a regular FB strut tube can be used if u don't want to tackle all that right now.

Thats easy. Pull the ecu harness out of the SE and bring it to me. I will rewire as necessary. You come by and pick up the harness. Install in the SA. Start engine. Any questions?

Hey Long. I wish that I had more time to play with your bridge But hopefully I showed you what you need to do to fine tune it yourself. I hope I get to see that car this Sunday.
