All depends on deep pockets. Stage 3 is bigger turbo and possibly rods if your going over 300whp.

What about a good old capacity increase , I think they can go to nearly 2.1 litres. That would not be cheap though but a fun project.
 
What rods would you suggest, ive never go this far with engine mods before. Ive looked at a few turbos but again not sure what i should be looking at. I was looking at a hybrid
 
So once i find out what mm i need these and a larger turbo would be the next stage. Would that require a stage 3 remap, or just a stage 2 again to get it running better with the new hardware?? Anything else that might needed changing? Im looking at new coil overs and brakes. Just getting all the mechanical side sorted before trying to make her pretty....well pretty for me anywha...white and green

What engine model do you have? Auq 19mm,bam 20mm ect what's your main goal? Street car with loads of power is gonna be fun but it is going to drink fuel.
There is no real stage 3 I don't think...more of an option to either go hybrid or Garrett type turbo frame but either way rods would be needed unless torque can be controlled but it would always be a risk but then is opening up the block and replacing part's...could spend thousands and last a few miles...has happened to many people with many different engine's and I'll tell you now the engine builder walks away. If you want to go for big power expect 3/4k on the engine setup alone, most builds end up in the 10k mark after gearbox,breaks ect. Do You wanna invest upto 10k into your car that you will never get back is the question?

and talk to your insurance company as they may make it very expensive.
