Stage 1+ designations
Stage 1+ designations
Stage 1 - XEDE, cam gears, dump- or turbo-back exhaust, high flow cat
Options ("plusses"):
+: upgraded camshafts
c: cat delete
h: 10.5cm^2 hotside
i upgraded intercooler
m: upgraded exhaust manifold
o: race O2 housing (standalone or integral to turbo-back exhaust)
p: ported head
t: titanium OEM turbo
Note that any letter designation would imply the + i.e. camshafts.
These seem to be the most common "add-ons" to stage 1+. I did not account for intercooler piping, upgraded intake manifold, throttle body, etc. etc. If people start doing these we can add more geek letters.
So what people are calling stage 1++ might be renamed e.g. stage 1i (if it's an intercooler they mean) or stage 1h (if it's the 10.5 hotside they've added), or stage 1hi for both.

From what I read, it's supposed to be faster spooling than the stock turbo and will support around 400 whp. Is that true? Also, in terms of boost control, would a reflash and a MBC suffice? Or would an stage zero / zero plus be more beneficial in terms of safety and adjustability?

I don't expect to be some 400-500whp dyno queen... 300 - 350 whp is my goal without breaking the bank and looking relatively stock... Thanks!
