To get the best performance out of the flash, you should do exhaust, sport filter and Diverter Valves.

It will be a different car.
What kind of diverter valves should I buy ?

Get the FVD ones they are a great deal and work well, I am sure they are made by someone else for them. I love my FVD product, so much in fact I am going with their 3.8 Kit and rods. I am not going with their Turbo's I want to use some GT30's or bigger

In a stage II car this is what I believe it should be: ECU flash , BMC filter, DV's air Filter , and some sort of free flowing exhaust.

Do you notice a difference with the diverter valves?

I would say yes, its not like you get more power, but your boost is more consistent, I found it to got to 1.0 bar faster and stayed up there with out spikes.

I see BMC filter mentioned quite a bit... Is this an aftermarket filter that fits in your stock air box?

I HAve a very close long term relationship with FVD as well.... with that said, I would strongly advise you that FVD does the motor in that case and that they make it right in case it doesnt work out the first time.... From waht I hear all the 3.8s that have been built to date had problems - ALL of the them... I believe it was the liners... I also hear that the other problem is the head gasket as no one makes the 3.8 L gasket.. so the 3.6L are used and more issues arose... IDK I'm just passing on the info...
Another issue is the head studs... I hear problems with those too...
Ask around... see how many FVD 3.8s are running around in the US...
Like I said, all 3.8l build had problems... and probably some still do... so whoever does your work make sure he did it successfully before your build...

good luck,
markski

FVD Stage II lasted me 30 days. Went to Stage IV and it's unbelievable (everything but the clutch).
