More torque is down low. In upper rpm there is less torque.
So if you want to avoid dct issues get a stage1 pure turbo. The low down torque with meth on stock turbo wont be nice for the dct. |

Atm I've got:
Catless down pipes FMIC CP Stock intake (don't like any aftermarket ones for n55) JB4/PPK1 Adding pure turbo stg 1 + meth to my car shouldn't result in any issues with the DCT right? Also, for the installation of the turbo.. Are there any other supporting mods/services that should to be done or recommended? Car is 2012 and only 32,000kms. Thanks for your help guys! |

I suggest to get a FMIC first. It will give you a boost in top end power without hurting the DCT.

Dct will slip on a maxed out S1 IMO if dime is only seeing 13psi

I'm debating this stage 1 vs stage 2 myself.. think I'll go stage 2 since my car is 2011 built even if it means running lower PSI just makes sense to go Stage 2

So I'm curious why does stg 1 require higher octane fuel to run the same boost? Where I live I only put in 93 octane which is blended to contain up to 10% ethanol... My goal is to avoid methanol or e85 blends because frankly I'd rather not mess with it. ( even though tons of people swear by it and that's how you can make the most power) Am I going to get my money's worth out of either turbo? I'm open to stage 2 if it is indeed easier to run higher boost without added fueling requirements |

Boost pressure alone doesn't necessarily equate to how much power your car is making. Based on what I've read from those that have had both the Stage 1 and Stage 2, it seems the Stage 2 makes the same power on 93 as the Stage 1 does on E85 and or meth. It's running lower boost but making the same power due to the efficiency of the turbo.

I dynoed 455 on 17 psi till redline 93 octane only on stage2 turbo.
For reference my maxed out stage1 on a E35 blend and meth injection put down less whp than 17 psi 93 only stage2 turbo. |

Yes if you have dct you want flash for sure. You can also do flash + jb4 too if you want to keep the jb4 features

Yeah after looking at Terry's Dyno 17.5 psi is prob more like 450-460whp on a proper setup.

Cobb won't work on a 2013.
Your only flash options would be Dinan or one of the other companies who can bench flash it. |

Im interested in the stage 1 upgrade. Im not specifically looking for more power, just a longer power band.

I'm very close to push the button.. I have jb4/catless/fmic/ on n55 2013 DCT.. Can't backend flash... Is it worth stage 1 on just 93 gas. Would it pull on the top end better than current and would it be noticeable?? |
