probably going to get stage 2 revo software soon and was just making sure that there wasn't something else i need to have on the car before doing so. right now i have an aftermarket intake, forge DV/BOV, and I'm going to install a new fuel pressure regulator before getting the stage 2 software. my plan is to get a new exhaust (turbo back) soon after the new chip. is there anything else i should have on the car before going stage 2?

 

you can have the chip done with nothingdone tothe car. All you need to do is the fpr that the stg2 calls for.

 

what do you mean by fpr that the stage 2 calls for?

 

also, assuming i'm around 210 hp from the first chip...what can i expect to be at after the stage 2 upgrade?

 

The stg2 is mainly more timing added because it thinks you have all the bolt ons. It should add another 10-15bhp and 15-20tq. The stg2 calls for a 4bar which you already mentioned.

 

ok idk if i'm missing something or what but you said it calls for a 4 bar? what's that mean. sorry, i'm just getting into moding and what not, hence the reason i'm trying to learn on here

 

Im sorry. The stock fpr is set to 3bar of pressure (45psi) and the one revo calls for is 4bar (60psi) of pressure. This raises the fuel injected when the injectors are open. Most just call it a 3,4, or 5bar since most already know we are refering to the fpr.

 

ah, so that's why the guys at MJM autohaus said to get a new FPR before getting the stage 2. also, how much could i expect to gain once i do a full turboback along with stage 2?

 

most dynos i see for ko3 guys is right around 200fwhp and 230wtq. Thats with fwd and about 20-22psi and turbobackwith maybe an intake and ic upgrade. If youwant awhp, its ~190whp and 215wtq.

 

wow that's not as much as i thought. i figured with stage 2, intake, and turboback that i'd be up in the 230 range for hp at least.
