There's a reason for the mileage question. DCX wasn't just trying to fill up the page....

See that would make me iffy if I was to buy it??? I could understand the Vin so that the computer would work and ect... But the Milage maybe someone will answer this question or should I just take it that they will screw you??!!??

When I bought the car I asked them about Stage 3 and if it was out. The parts guy said no not yet but when it does come out that it will be street ileagle But I dont care got friends in low places

See, they have a block to fill in for mileage. No secret warranty voiding machine. No harm done. It doesn't even have to too accurate.

That's the whole thing, Psi. I already have an upgraded fuel pump (Walbro 255lph), and i dont need a fuel return line set up, to support a bigger turbo. And with the S2 injectors it sufficient enough as well. Now, an ebc, tuning, and perhaps the tranny may be an addition to your statement, but how much boost will the S3 produce? 19-20psi's? With there % [Stage 3] from their compressor diameter wheel flow to turbine diameter wheel flow does't catch my eye for that amount of cash they asking for.
Now, i do agree with you about a tuneshop (for the T3/T4 set up). That's something i dont have a luxury of here in Germany. I just emailed agpturbo asking if their set up is needed to go to a dyno shop for proper tuning.I need more convincing to go the Stage 3 route upgrade for $2600. I have to do more homework

nope i don't feel you. mainly because for that "same money" you only have about half the things needed to make a big turbo kit actually work. fuel upgrades, ebc, not to mention tune time...easily 3-4k when all is said and done. and you'll still be in the same boat as a lot of the big turbo guys running 122 andup trap speeds with times of 12.3. lots of power that can't be used. sounds like a supra....(no offense to you supra guys)

the fuel pump isn't a ig deal, just sell it if you don't need it. as for the return line, no you don't need but, but i'm willing to bet that if you get an aftermarket kit you'll end up with one anyway. everyone tries to go without it and ends up putting one on anyway. i'm just talking about all the turbo upgrades i've seen around here.

as for the dyno tuning, yes, you will have to tune it. i honestly trust agp to answer you truthfully about things as much as i would trust a crack adict to work on my car. they like to tell people what they want to hear, not necessarily what is the truth. you have to tune a car if you do a major modification like that. you can tune it on the street, but you really have to know what you're doing. either way, it has to be tuned. there is no plug and play on their kits, or anyone else's for that matter.

Roach, whatsa matta, picking on the 40-60 euro sedans not enough?
Anyway I agree with PSI Chicks assesment of AGP, if they say no tune, they are not being honest. AFAIK, only the Psi-Fi guys require no tuning.

Initial word is 21-23 psi on the S3 turbo. and remember, you can drive it (S3) for a while, say the duration of your hitch, then sell it when you get home. Kinda like rental horsepower I've already had two folks inquire about my S2 PCM

Yeah the 40-60 euros is getting old.... Looking for bigger fish to eat..

I couldnt get in contact with Agp yesterday. kept getting the recording[:@]. But, if you say is true about having it tuned, No insult to you Psi, then either i wait or do the "horsepower rental" thing...lol
One thing, glhs.
Can you really sell ya S2 to another SRT? I thaught it was program for you specific model.

Roach, just like a Stage 1, yes it is flashed with your VIN, as mentioned above. But it is easily changed by either a local dealer or by sending to Flight Systems, the guys who flash PCMs for Mopar and DCX. The dealer has the benefit of being fast and removing the P0633 code, but finding a local dealer whos willing to do can be an issue. Fligth Systems is a sure thing, but takes a little while for the shiping and you still get the Sentry key P0633.

I sold my Stage 1, and will sell my S2 PCM.
