The other option is the Bosal DP, which is very nice, and has a divorced wg tube. Cheap too.

Do you think Eljefe will be able to hit target boost with Cobb stage 2 without at least a bellmouth DP? The reason I ask is because I know you have had Cobb stage 2 reflash (now vf34) and I am running Cobb stage 1 93 octane with plans to buy a Cobb DP and go stage 2. It seems like some of the people with stage 2 that cant hit target boost (even with the HWG map) have tried to go the cheap route with their DP. Im not saying the DP is the reason for the low boost, I was just hopeing to see what you thought about this since you have had first hand experience with stage 2. Also, what DP do you have?

Thanks.
