30K mile service woke my X50 up! Needs more!

I've been pulling .7 boost in 3rd WOT, .8 only in higher gears and only spikes. I took the TT in for scheduled maintenance. I'm not sure what they did, but I'm pulling steady .8 with spikes of .9 with the lower gears. Car feels faster.

Feels good, but still not enough. Taking her into MAXRPM next week for an upgrade to EVO Stage 4. Going with the Fabspeed Medium exhaust and JIC Cross Coilovers.

I'm expecting a completely different car. I'll keep you posted!

do the gt640 ..... trust me..... or are they keeping ur k24s and just adding the modified actuators.... if so stage 4 is fine.... if u need to get new turbos.... go with the gt640. just my opinion.
it will be a different car... i did 4 tuning kits and each time it was different car....

If you are running the X50 already (K24's) go for the Stage 4 (keeping the stock K24's) or go to the GT 700 package (swapping out the turbos). Just your choice of bang for the buck.
