What supporting mods are needed to run a stage 2 tune? downpipes? upgraded ic? Thanks
For the 1M, Stage 2 only requires an upgraded intake and intercooler. We found that the factory downpipes aren't as restrictive as they are on the other N54 equipped cars. We do have a Stage 2 file for those wishing to utilize upgraded downpipes, but it is not a requirement for this Stage.

Berk Technology and Evolution Racewerks both run water-methanol injection on their 135i's. They are running our Stage 2 file, with the optional "Race" file (for 100 octane or 91/93 with 50/50 water-methanol injection).
