Im considering taking the car too the next level. Just curious of what it would be like. Trying to see the differnece between where i am and where i could be. If anyone is close to the west baltimore/county area and would be willing to give me a test run. I would appreciate it. I can meet you wherever comfortable, just let me know and thanks in advance.

My car is stage2+ and I think the difference is more troque in low end but also my car does not drop power as much past 5000 rpm.
It puts you about in par with the M3

I think that might be worth the money

are you a y6spd or Tip?if Tip, get the VAST tip chip to exploit all the power

Hey Andrey, I knew you'd chime in! How's your car? Any more mods?
I ended up getting a second german plate, the army plate with Biturbo on it.

What consists of Stage2+ so to speak? I know the information on the wiki but I am wondering what the full write up would be or a parts list would be great.

Down pipes, full exhaust with test pipes or high flow cats, chip, intercoolers, supporting mods like intake, TBB, bi pipe, mounts ect (possibly meth, im not sure if you have to have it to be considered "stage 2+")

I too am looking to join the stage two club here in a month or so. Looking to order ER IC's in a week or two then getting a custom tune from someone. With a bunch of supporting mods of course. Hopefully by the end of the summer ill be throwing on some custom headers/intake and charge piping with some gt2554r's and fueling to really have some daily driver fun! :-P Have fun with your car, from everything people say anything about stock and stage 1 is a blast

I don't think intercoolers are that necessary to be considered stage 2+. Mabye so, but even on a stage 3 probably only if you're gonna be pushing hard more than stoplight to stoplight. Piggie pipes are just fine on a 2/2+, but on a stage 3 the ko4s probably need the extra room real dps give.
Stage2/2+:
Programming
Bipipes
DVs
Intake
Piggies
Catback w/hiflow or test pipes
That's pretty much it to get the most out of your K03s. If you really wanna get the absolute most out of a stg 2 drop a snow performance or devil's own in after everything else. Then you're at the most you can do w/o going being k04'd. I mean you can do other things light lighten the flywheel and cutting some weight here or there and such, but as far as engine and air in/air out, that's what you need for stg2. I don't think there's really such a thing as stg 2+. That's like saying I'm drinking a 'diet light coke'.
