What supporting mods justify going with stage 3? Or rather, why go stage 2 vs stage 3?

Bo White · 04-03-2017, 08:20 PM

If you daily your car go with stage II

Thanks Bo. Stage II sounds right then. DD + track time to come. Will add PTB to my list and add it with LTH and tune at the same time. I can't recall if you need a core, or the cost. I'll Pm ya.

Bo White · 04-03-2017, 08:54 PM

Gotcha
I dont do core returns.

what's new on the stage 3 over the 2?
from the pics, I can see the half shaft has less material.
is there more I can't see?
why is it needing a tune?
thanks, and still enjoying the stage 2. between it and the gears, I'm still working on settling down my right foot.

Bo White · 04-03-2017, 10:42 PM

More aggressive port and contoured halfshaft mainly.

For anyone wondering, its definitely an upgrade over the stage 2. I've driven with a stage 2 for probably 20,000 miles. I drove the car home from work this morning, waited about 10 minutes then swapped TBs to the stage 3 and went for a test drive. My first impressions was the throttle response improved greatly, rev match downshifting was even easier and the car needed less throttle input to accelerate. It felt like I had a stock TB before and just added a ported one.

My car is running a stock tune and my only engine mods are a halltech CAI, Bo's ported TB, and SOLO high flow cats. For my application I would need tuning. Stage 3 made the car slightly surge at cruising and surged one occasion at idle that a throttle blip fixed. At WOT the car definitely reved much faster even though my butt dyno didn't feel a power increase. Usually when a car revs faster its making more power and going faster so my butt dyno may be broken.

If I were to go to my local track (hour+ away) I would definitely bolt this on to race. My last thing, I'm pretty bummed I had to put my stage 2 back on, I loved the added performance of the stage 3.

With mail tune would it be sufficient to run this as weekend dailydriver? Don't want to be in the car with the family and car starts glitching. Pm me

olblue75 · 04-15-2017, 10:04 PM

How would it be for a road race/auto cross application??

Bo White · 04-16-2017, 12:13 AM

So far the design has done well. A few have needed tuning so Im still saying 50/50 shot on that even though most didnt need it. Its a race port, track or strip.
