Stage 2 question

BlackSTI2006 · 09-01-2006, 06:48 AM

Alright guys im fairly new still to the STI world ive been researching them a lot for almost a year now and have owned my 06 since january and have 17k on it.....

my question is, right now im running a k&n typhoon and apexi gt-spec catback, i was searching around because i want an accessport i figured it was the best option for me. Well i came across gruppe-s's site and they have a stage 2 package with a lightened crank pulley, walbro pump, accessport, and gruppe-s stage 2 map made for the exact mods. If i were to do this i would obviously purchase a downpipe to complete it for their stage 2 because thats all im missing from the stage1....i just want to know if the stage 2 package is worth it or should i just pick up the accessport and maybe a downpipe?

thanks~chris

Just get the accessport and downpipe.

As far as I know, a crank pulley won't need additional tuning and the stock injectors are already nearly maxed out on the stock fuel pump so a fuel pump is not needed unless you plan on taking the mods further.

PIck up the AP and a downpipe and flash to the COBB stage 2 map and call it a day. You dont need a fuel pump at this point.....

Yep AP and DP, and with the change you can get a Protune.

u wont need a fuel pump until you get a protune. At that point its just a good idea to get one for saftey reasons.

alright another question....

with your personal opinions/experiences will i hit fuel cut running the tbe,typhoon, and cobb stage 2?

and if someone wants to pm me a good source to buy an accessport ive heard of guys getting them below the cobb set price if anyone wants to leak info ill gladly look into their source haha

You won't hit fuel cut with a stage 2 setup. It's safe, reliable modding no questions asked!

Hmm. This depends on if you have a cattless or catted downpipe. With regular Stage II, and a catless downpipe, you will most likely experience boost creep and fuel cut. Catted, you might or might not. To help with this you would probably run a low wastegate map to help with the creep/spike. A protune won't solve (it's a mechanical defficiency) but will mask it. I am fully catless with a "super" free-flowing exhaust and a Protune and have never experienced boost creep or boost spike.

Oh and, I dunno about getting an AP below MSRP unless its used.

Good luck though...

Just get the AP and the downpipe. Forget all the other crap.

So whats better for the longevity of the car, a catless or catted downpipe???

How did you find this 2 year old thread? There is no REAL answer to your question by the way. One is louder than the other and flows more.
