It's also standard vxr power for much lower cost and nicer delivery but I wouldn't run a charged engine without some kind of intake cooling which makes stage 2 a no brainer.

It does save about 700 pound of material, and the labour of getting the front clam off/on and the piping work.

 

Nothing wrong with doing this in 2 steps if funds allow it that way better.

Fitting the larger Stage 1 pulley onto the charger is a PITA, so the known builders favour the Stage 2 conversions... :happy:  And it gives more power.
