Did we ever see numbers on EGT's, boost levels, and timeslips from APR about Stage III?

Wellll.....
I see 18psi at WOT, with spikes at 20. BUT on a daily drive to work, I rarely see boost, and when I do, it's only 10psi. Now to put that into perspective, when I was chipped, I used to have to ride HARD in the same situation to "feel right" in traffic. The Stage 3 makes a lot of power with less boost, and I no longer need to hammer it to get the same feeling of keeping up. The improved flow of the manifold and aftermarket exhaust makes a difference off boost.
Timeslips are a hot button. Not sure if it was DMAK or RKA, but someone said they ran a 13.8 in crappy conditions on a one pass try. I DON'T want to start another frigging 10 page thread on that one.
As far as EGT's I don't know, but comparisons would be difficult at best. The manifold on the Stage 3 uses Inconel metal, which has 1/4 the heat transfer of the stock piece. That means more heat stays in the exhaust, so it will naturally be higher than if a stock manifold was used instead. I do know a stock car, the reading for EGT's is about 1500 at idle.

Spikes and other St.3 Related things...
Ed, interesting note on boost peaks. I'm still using my exhaust with the big Random cat. APR put on a bypass instead of their cat. Car spools quickly but I can peak or "spike" mine to 24.5 psi. Man is this puppy a runner.

WIll the APR manifold fit on a K03 turbo?
My car can't take the stage 3 (automatic), nor can I afford it.
Will the APR manifold fit on the factory stuff, or is it custom made to fit the Garret turbo?
I'd love to add the nice manifold if it will fit!
Thanks,

Rich L. was getting 22psi this weekend at Thunderhill........
until his car just went dead coming out of turn 1.
I was right behind him.
Luckily some folks going back up to Seattle could swap semi-street lega racer for Rich's Avant on their trailer for a lift to Portland!
This may be a deal breaker for me and my Stage III.

I'm interested n what happened! Not that other turbos
don't also quit, and it may not even be stage 3 related...
But that would be the first reported failure. Hope Rich L keeps us infomed!
