Wouldn't DMCMW Dave's response to my post only adding new injectors to the list confirm what I said was accurate?
eBay selling at it's best I can tell you stock Delorians and quite a bit of slugs so the Turbo is a super nice up-grade.

The last part is more tongue in cheek as it was pointed out that I only did 5 of the 10 required things, I simply listed off a few of the things listed that were on my checklist of things for the car that were said "had" to be done.
I have no problem listing my two walkarounds, the original, priced at the tune of 26k, the second at 11k. The difference in the two was a simple question, What NEEDS to be done to make the car driveable and roadworthy again, 15k was taken off of the list.
I have not made this anywhere as near as public as I could have, I am simply giving my experience with the stage II upgrade. There have been a few people who have PM'd and emailed me about my situation and I have filled them in with a bunch of information and I am more then happy to share it with anyone else that asks privately.I've always said the Stage II was a great upgrade and I love it, the service on the other hand was less desirable but not horrible.
As far as the bashing, that's silly. I like thirdmanjs take on it, Ed gets bashed it's a good time for all, say something negative about someone else, it's hate mongering. I always thought this was an open forum to discuss, ask questions and vent concerns amongst our small group of owners. Apparently this is not so, so please Sean, Mike or anyone else that's a mod feel free to delete any of my bashing comments.
I find it great that Tony is offering to honor the work, I don't have 2k at the moment(1k shipping down, 1K shipping back) to take him up on it, not to mention this was three years ago.

First, feel free to share this situation in the review area. Second, where did I say bash?

Whoops - it wasn't quite accurate (my bad). Stage 2 also includes (in addition to what was mentioned) plugs/wires/cap/rotor. Effective last last year it also includes powdercoating the engine parts that get removed during the installation (intake, W-pipe, valve covers, timing cover).

Darn it, looks like I missed out on a few of these. That's what you get for needing one earlier. Only my valve covers are powdercoated and it looks like an older job. Granted, I've put 20,000 miles on the engine since.

DMC likes to improve their improvements. Unfortunately, that sometimes hurts us early adopters. (My car, for example, had Stage I put on in 2004 (I think -- would have to go back and find the receipt) when it was only exhaust, and it is not stainless steel.) However, it's a boon to those who wait for a little while to upgrade their cars.

Good thing you waited to convert to carburetion until after the bugs were worked out.

I might be wrong, but I believe that the price of the Stage 1 exhaust has increased as it has evolved, as well. No doubt related to an increased materials cost....Unfortunately, that sometimes hurts us early adopters.
