Do we have a stage 1,2,3?

519.E82 · 05-08-2018, 11:44 AM

Just out of curiosity, do others think we have stage 1,2,3 variants of our cars?

My car has intake, exhaust, intake scoops, 3 Stage IM, and it would just be easier to say "its a stage 2 128i build" vs "its a 128i but basically a 130i because of blah blah blah"

Would stage 1 for us be:
Intake, exhaust

Stage 2:
Intake, exhaust, 3 stage IM, tune (130i tune or other)

Stage 3:
Intake, exhaust, 3 Stage IM, tune, headers

And then if you super charge you just on a different level

I realized i didn't include those immediately. I would say that would be stage 3 because MILVs are usually the last thing done to get that last bit of power possible.
