Does anybody have the vishnu stage one? if yes, did you get the optional dp with it, or should i go with another brand name. How do you guys feel about this setup? is it worth the 2300, or should i look elsewhere for something better, but less money?

 

Vishnu makes great quality products and are very knowledgeable tuners. I had a stage 1 for about 6 months, but i bought the tbe from someone else, but used their uppipe. I have never had any problems with their products or tuning and would recomend it. I did not get their tbe b/c i found one for a little cheaper that I thought was the same quality, otherwise i would have gotten theirs. WIth their stage one i gained 50 whp over stock. I dynoed stock at 161whp and after stage 1 i dynoed 210whp

 

personally, i would piece the stage together using your preference of parts and get custom tuned at your choice of tuner.

 

I bought the stage 0, then upgraded to the stage 1 w/ signature series tbe. I haven't had any problems. The only think I had a problem with is it took like 5 weeks each time I ordered a part to recieve it. I had to keep calling them to see if they shiped it out and they kept making excuses why I didn't get my stuff yet, everyone knows that is an ongoing battle with vishnu, but besides that i'm happy with their products. The exhaust sounds awesome, very deep and agressive. As far as if it was worth 2800 bucks, well, I think so. If you have any questions you can email me. Matt@min.midco.net

I have had my stage one for 24,000 miles (2 years) and I love it. I use the car as a daily driver and track car. MPJ did the install of the uppipe, I did the tbe, Shiv did the tuning. Very reliable and solid power.

 

I had the Vishnu Stage1 and absolutely loved it. I'm parting out the car now and have sold almost everything except the Vishnu Under drive pulley (and belts), the Xede is kinda being sold. Vishnu stuff is top notch, there are absolutely no fitment issues that one usually encounters with cheaper brands. And they are very easy to sell in the aftermarket, totally worth it IMHO. PM me if you are interested in any of the parts.

 

what were you guy's track numbers? the claims on vishnu's site seem pretty good, but ive never seen actual numbers.

 

I don't drag race but with my set up I consistantly run low to mid 1:50 's at Laguna Seca.

 

Damn it! Lucky you.... I wish I could run Laguna Seca the closest I have gotten to it is through GT3 ...
