You can install both at one time. The trick will be getting the boost adjusted right, spike 17-18 and dropping to 14-15 at redline. You must have a boost gauge or you could blow your engine.

So I should just leave it alone then. how much boost does the stage 1 take that motor to anyway? and how do I set the boost? a boost controller I would guess?

With S1 you'll spike at around 15 dropping to 12-13 at redline. The S2 wga is adjustable. You won't need a boost controller.

How do you adjust the wga then?

The arm is threaded near the end. You can see at the top left corner of the wga. The piece at the end of the arm lengthens or shortens the arm by turning it . You lengthen the arm for less boost and shorten it for more boost.

So i adjust the arm before install. and if theres too much boost take it off and turn it down?

With it off of the car scribe a line on the arm next to the where it goes into the housing. When you install it you want the arm pulled out from the housing 2mm. The scribed line should be 2mm from the housing. Every car is different. If you have to adjust again to get it to spike 17-18 and dropping to 14-15 at redline then you can do it with the wga bolted to the car, but you have to take the end of the arm off of the exhaust manifold flapper in order to adjust.
