Stage 1,2,3?

Can anyone explain how the different stages differ - is there a set level etc and what they tend to include?

Agreed for an RS4, but for an S4 it is as follows;

Stage 1 - chip only
Stage 2 - chip & cat back
Stage2+ - chip, turbo back
Stage 3 - upgrade to K04s

Which goes to show that the 'stage' concept differs between cars. When I first started tuning (a 2.0 Capri), stage 1 involved a new cam, ported manifolds and a gas-flowed head!

At least I did the work myself (nerve-racking stuff when you smear the cam with running-in grease, start the car and keep the revs over 3000 rpm for several minutes, even though you've only just put the darn thig back together) which is something I would never do on these modern engines!

What about the final stage>?

The hunger for more speed, pickup, handling, bhp, torque etc .............. maybe a new faster car [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] remember once you`ve reached the peak out of the car & engine etc.....then a new car would be the option. [img]images/graemlins/tung2.gif[/img]
