Stage 2 on an ED30 is somewhat superb, though I wouldnt know anything about that  :P

Stage 2 realistically needs an uprated clutch due to the extra torque.

To be honest 1 and 2 stages still have simular torque alex, but 2 goes and holds mor towards top revs.

On a Manual, i would budget for a replacement clutch sooner or later...

Haha I don't know what you're implying saint.. :booty:

I'm very impressed with stage1, but just get that feeling it's being restricted higher up the rev range... But after further cost of exhaust, fitting and another bump of insurance, I'm reckoning if it's worth it and if a clutch is required too, then may concentrate on other parts of the car...
