    I'm forced to go stage 3!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Well my time has come. Driver side turbo is starting to leak oil.

    The wifey signed off on my permission slip to buy K04's! WUHOO! When I told her how much a FULL stage 3 set up would cost she gave me a look! haha she dam near fell out of her seat...it was a kodak moment.

    Anyways, I cant afford to go full stage 3 yet so im jus gonna get the turbos installed for now. Then sometime next year I should have $$$ for a fuel kit, IC's, etc etc...

    TB, valve cover gasket, front cam seals, & cam tensioner seals have already been replaced. I was thinking of getting the cam plugs and RMS done. Anything else left to do on the "things to get done while your in there" list???

    Good thing you had her approval for this. You were smart in asking before acting. Where are you getting the work done?

    Hey its better than her saying no! Something is better than nothing

    She actually approved full stage 3. But due to our financial situation, I have to go 3- for now. Anyways it gives me something to look forward to in the future.

    Man, it's been a month and a half and my wife still doesn't know about my Stage 3 system. It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission. Enjoy it, you'll love it.

    Re: I'm forced to go stage 3!

    Well my wife's car was stage 2 the the turbo lady came. So I got the approval automatically
    Then a week later her bottom end let go( her engine) now she's doing a full E85 stage 3 and
    A trans build! This was easier than her approving my motor build.

    Re: I'm forced to go stage 3!

    maybe it's just cause im not married, but unless your wife makes the money, who cares if you spend it on the car. I know i have no idea what im talking about since im not, but seeing my friends getting married and the way their balls are in a vice grip is sad. Spend your money how you want.

    further more, how the hell would she know what a K04 and a K03 is??

    She wouldnt...

    Thanks for letting me know after the fact that I pulled the trigger on a set of K04's already. Do you have a used fueling kit by any chance?
