ok here's the deal i have seacher and found minimal feed back on rrm's stage 2 intercooler kit. i am looking to get it when i get back from iraq along with a bunch of other goodies. but really would like to know what to expect from the kit besides power the best info i have gotten was the stage 2 vs srt 4 but that thread turned bad when someone got there info messed up with what THOUGHT. does anybody have any times i have heard that the stage 1 runs high 13 low 14 so and i going to be seeing low 13 high 12. is there any supporting mod that is a must that i may have over looked. as of now mods are
magna flow cat back, crank pulley, intake don't count anymore. any information would help and yes i am looking around doing research just not a whole lot on stage 2. thanks in advance

 

There is plenty of information on this kit you simply didn't search enough. Another idea might be to call RRM and find out directly from them what they recommend.

 

like i said i found some stuff but would like to know more from people who actually have it i have found a bunch of stuff on stage 1 but not nearly enough on stage 2. just trying to get a little help thats all

 

i am not really asking about the supporting mods that much i got that. did the research on that

 

wow, i guess it all depends on how much boost you plan on running. Everyone I've heard on here that is running stage 2 has different gains. It's all up to the driver and what route you plan on going when TUNING.

 

well not really going to tune just put it on and leave it i really don't want to mess anything up... i say that now but give me a couple of month right. na but forreal i am going to be putting on a intake manifold, bored fuel rail, magna core wires, maybe a tb not sure but thats about all the supporting mods i am going to be able to afford along with a bunch of other stuff i am going to get for safety. i really don't plan to tune i think it will be good enough as is. just not sure on how good it really is going to be.

 

What does the stage 2 come with that the stage 1 doesent? and how much more does it cost? I have heard about 6k but didnt know if that was correct

 

if you get a turbo and bore the intake manifold, you might as well get the throttle body to to complete it, then get a custom turbo-back exhaust done. Should be cheap from a local shop in killeen.

 

stage 2 just adds on bigger injectors, modification to the MAF , spring for Wastegate, and PIGGY w/ Software for Stg 2.

that's about it...lol

 

what mods can you do to the MAF?

 

remove the restrictor plate, but if you do that N/A you'll have issues.

 

Wow such a big price difference for little upgrades

 

yeah stage 1 is basicly 4300 and for a stage 2 they say just add 1100 so basicly 5400 probably 6000 after taxes. don't need a custom turbo back just need to add a high flow cat on the second one and the first one should be taken off cause the turbo exhaust piping takes it places i think but if it doesn't i'll put the rrm's test pipe one the second one then the high flow on the first. then i am good..

 

Well, when I was N/A I was running a 16.1 in the 1/4. When I first went stage 1 I had a boost leak and was running 15.4 @ 3.5 psi...I was putting down 175 hp at the wheels. Fixed the leak and ran 14.9 @ 5 psi. Then with stage 2 @ 8.5 psi along with the crank pulley the only races I got off were against 2 evos on the highway and beat them both so...I would estimate that that with stage 2 you would be maybe low 14s or maybe high 13s...those are just my thoughts.

 

those are good thoughts seems like it would be pretty reasonable
