I finally flashed stage 2. I had a cat back, typhoon and stage 1 before and when i added just the DP and no flash it made a considerable difference. I almost **** my pants the first time I punched it. I was boosting to about 1.2 to almost 1.3 mpa before I let off the gas. When I finally got around to flashing stage 2 I was kinda like meh. It didnt feel any faster, just smoother. I am also only hitting 1.1 to barely 1.2 mpa when im in 5th 6th. Does this sound normal? I dont think it has anything to do with it but i left the base map at stage 1 93 and made the real time map stage 2 93.

My wrap smoked too. For like two days. I think part of that was because I emptied an entire can of the heat spray on top of the wrap as well

I have a catless downpipe w/catback and had the cobb sf intake on the car for a few days. I ended up taking it off because my car was boostin to 21lbs in gears 3-6 and it felt very sluggish on hot days out here in cali. I will soon have more parts added to the car to have it protuned and the intake will go back on. Stage 2 for now, 20g next month w/alki.

Default 9months and counting

I gentleman, have been addicted to a protuned stage 2 for over 9 months, and I have loved every minute of it.

I have enev "changed" a few smaal things since the tune, and am thinking of a re-tune in the future to take advanatage of the small changes like going catless

Any one running a TurboXS stealthback with their Stage 2?

I'm debating whether or not to take the leap since, a) I have a K&N Typhoon which I would rather not remove, and B) I don't know if I want to deal with any boost creep issues.

Can any one with the Stage 2 and stealthback comment on if they've had any boost creep issues with that setup?

I have actually been stage 2 for like 10 months now. It's great. Although I don't have any gauges

Hoping to save up some money soon to get gauges, TMIC, fuel pump, plugs and a Protune

Just installed the TXS Stealthback and Cobb AP last weekend, and I can say its great. No issues at all, just wondering if it will get faster, I heard that about 2 to 4 weeks after stage 2 is uploaded the computer tends to run it a little better. Anybody running the HWG map? What differences are in that map? I'm in Dallas, you think I'll knock?
