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?

 

stage 5 here

 

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'm stage somehwere inbetween

 

according to TurboXS ill be a stage 2 when i get my utec (pray for a tuesday delivery) its just the map specs so they can decide how to tune for your mods

 

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.....
