Wtf Are Stages!!!!!!!!!!

I see this all over NASIOC and some guy on here wants Stage 2 Ecutek. Whats with all the stages?? I thought only the SRT 4 guys had stages

I've seen Cobb staged kits but does that mean everything has to be done in stages? I'm sorry if I may seem a lil upset but I HATE when people are like "I have a stage 2 clutch, stage 7 flywheel, stage 34 exhaust" or when you say what do you have done and they say "stage 1". That shit pisses me off so bad and I couldnt tell you why

Ok I'm done

Yeah its mainly a marketing ploy for the company's products, but typically Stage 1 is just EM (mainly Cobb users) and Stage 2 is EM and turboback. Stage 4 is a bigger turbo and supporting mods. Then theres wierd ones like Cobb Stage 2.5 adds a VF34. Its confusing. Especially since I dont know and havent ever heard anyone talk about "stage 3", so why is there a stage 4?

PDX uses stage #'s on their mail order tunes. they are the only company that uses stage #'s beside AP that i know of. its based on the amount of mods you have to certain companies. i wish i had the power of stage 1. im still at stage -0

turboxs also has stages 1-4. cobb never really had a stage 2.5 it just sorta got named that by all the users. it's all just to refer to the parts regarding maps, for the most part.

I never noticed that no one ever has stage 3. I think its all gay unless you say "I have (insert tuner here) stage _ package" Thats the only time I see stages actually meaning anything. I'm gonna post on NASIOC and see whats up with stage 3

consider a stage like a bundle, really.....

typically, the higher the number, the more advanced the bundle of components and requisite tune/software...

stage 0.5 here, and loving it.....
