And the Stillen wont need to change compressors as it starts with a bigger one but will lose low end tq for future upgradeability. So 2 kits with different option scenerios, thats good so each person can decide what they want and buy according.
what you did leave out is that if you really wanted too you could order the GTM with the larger compressor and run it at lower boost level until you wanted to "upgrade" later. As i said in the Stillen thread though why would someone give up usable power now for the chance of a cheap upgrade later. Just do it right the first time, and maybe you won't be always chasing the next upgrade.

Good point, and Im with you there, if I buy it under its capabilities then I feel kinda cheated on power. But as one othr guy pointed out if you know for sure you will upgrade and you need money for the kit and internals then I could see starting under its efficiency and buying as you go. But that wont be me, Stage 1 all the way.
