Cobb Stage 2, w/o aftermarket intercooler?

[AKopp]

Is anyone running stage 2 with just full exhaust and intake? Or is the intercooler a must for this application to be safe?

Check out their website, it'll tell you what you need for stage 2. I also remember them saying of you don't have the mods and run stage 2, it won't do anything.

There are two stage two tunes, Stage 2 and Stage 2+FMIC or Stage 2 + Front Mount Inter Cooler.

exactly.

i ran stage 2 for a few months before i upgraded my FMIC and went up to stage 2 +.

He's trying to get the power of stage 2+ with stage 2 mods. I'd say on a cold morning you could get away with a pull or 2 with the stock intercooler. But you should not run the car hard daily on stage 2+ without the upgraded intercooler. I imagine your IATs will soar and it will pull timing like crazy.
Just PM jeff@topgearsolutions and order an intercooler

Aha, I was unaware of the different options. I thought it was all or nothing. Thanks for the tip.
