Vishnu Stage 3 pack
Vishnu , to my knowledge, hasnt released any info on this kit as far as the price. Has anyone heard anything on it? On their site they have the 1/4 mile times posted but thats it. I was thinking of getting this for my WRX but didnt know if there was a better alternative out there? Oh great WRX Gods help a newb find the right path. Thanks in advance.

Don't go with the info on their website.... it is not up to date (hint hint). Call them up and ask if you are interested. I found out after I called them that they already have a stage 0 - 1 for the STi and that isn't even listed on their website. Hope that helps =)

I would call Vishnu Performance for details.
I was told that their WRX Stage 3 requires race gas to make its advertised performance, and that their Stage 2 setup gives better driveability on the street, probably because of the torque curve.
What's your intended purpose for your WRX? Mostly street driving? Drag racing? Autocross, or road racing?

Double Dubya's info is correct- for the street, stage II is better. On race gas, stage III owns j00! Call Brett or Ken at Vishnu, they can give you the up-to-date status on stage III production and cost. IIRC it's in the $7-8k range for absolutely everything you need to put 360+ hp to the wheels... but you better plan on brakes, wheels, and tires too.

I am trying to turn it into a nice street car. I liked the numbers on the Stage 3 conv. but I didnt know that it took that kind of gas to run it. Would you guys go with turbo that comes with the kit or the next model up? Also would you guys substitute any of Vishnu's products from the Stage 2 kit for say some of COBB's parts? I like and heard that Vishnu's products are the cream of the crop but just want some honest outside opinions. Thanks for the reply guys.

I have the Vishnu Stage 2 and it is great, even on our crappy California gas. No complaints, their products and customer service is top notch. I had mine dyno tuned by shiv at their shop which I highly recommend especially for crappy California gas. I ended up with around 240 to the wheels on their dyno which is equivelant to around 280 to the wheels on most other dynos or approximately 335 to the flywheel.
They recently lowered their prices also.
I agree on the stage 3 also. It's intense, but requires the installation of a small gas tank in the trunk for race gas and is very expensive.

after stage 1, the stage 2 parts are basic vf34, walbro pump and sti injectors, purchase them at the lowest price and have vishnu do the reflash. There is no reason to pay a ridiculous premium for the same parts you can buy elsewhere.
Vishnu =VF34 Turbocharger..........$1450*
MPJperformance =VF34 Turbocharger..........$800
groupe-s =VF34 Turbocharger.......... $749
Maybe the prices are lower if you call, but it seems like vishnu has left the wrx for the evo the way that they left the miata for the wrx.

Jim,
You think we no longer work on WRXs? Have you ever come to our shop? The EVO is certainly taking up a large chuck of our R&D time but that's because it's a new nut to crack. As is the STi. The WRX, however, has been cracked for some time. As for Miatas, all the parts we manufacture are still in production but sold through other vendors. Only so many phone calls the boys in the sales office can handle.
Cheers,
shiv
