I have a stage 1 pcm. an a stage 2 wastegate an soon i will be getting stage 2 injectors. will the car still run as good as if it were to have the stage 2 pcm or no?

 

No. The stage 2 has different map and tip sensors. Plus you will be running really rich without anything to pull out the extra fuel. Unless you are getting a safc or dtec to tune with i would not recommend stage 2 injectors.

 

well im also getting his map clamp. the other sensor on the fender wall. an his E-manage

 

So you will have an S1 PCM, S2 WGA, S2 Injectors, S2 Tip Sensor and a Map Clamp? Seems like you should be okay, if you know how to tune that is.The Map clamps are VERY tricky and require precise tuning on the dyno. They don't pull fuel by gear, only across the band, so they're a bit finnicky to tune.On another noteyou really have no need for extra fuel with just those modifications. Not to mention adding larger injectors without adding a return line is a bad move. You should always run a return line with larger injectors.

well i know she knows her stuff. my friend is selling everything off his car. an im trying to buy most of it. an the rest i will be helping him sell on here an srt forums. he has stage2, WGA wastegate, greddy e101, emanage, dc strut towers, an some other things. so i will just be better off buying the whole stage 2 kit?

 

In my opinion, yes. Rather than spending the cash on the e-01 and the emanage, buy the remainder of the S2 kit and make it more of a plug and play type thing. Stage 2 doesnt need to be tuned, so if you can go about not tuning it go for it. But again, it is your car, and you can do as you choose with it. I'm the type of person that if I can bolt the majority of it on, and go, I would. [/align][/align]A good combo is the S1 PCM and the S2WGA. The only way you'd need more fuel is if you were trying to run over a 15-16psi spike. If that is the case and that is your goal, then buying those injectors won't hinder the car any they'll help it. And if you get those you will most definitely need the emanage/e-01 combo to tune them and fine tune your boost. [/align]

 

If I were to go with a Stage 1 PCM, and a Kinetic Wastegate, would this be a good combo? Would I throw a code or anything, and what would the results yeild from this?

I have been told that I would be able to run up to 17-18 PSI will no problems.

Mine is a 2004 SRT stock with only a K&N filter and Mopar BOV kit.

if you have a s1 ecu, s2 injectors and a wga, justget a fuel controller and call it a day. map clamps are a cheap way out, and have the potential for doing serious damage if you don't know what you're doing. you don't need a s2 ecu really. it can help becaues it has a higher redline and does give you more advanced timing, especially if you want to run race gas, but for the most part you will run better with the s1 wcu and tuning over a s2 ecu. the s2's are designed to run so pig rich that it basically kills the powerband. if you are going to run a full s2 kit, get it tuned. either way you need something to control fuel.

also with a s1 ecu you don't need the s2mmap/tip sensors which saves you some cash, and since you're not going to be running over 25psi it doesn't really matter if you have them or not.

 

well atm im spiking well over 20 lbs.but it will hold about 16. an i think ive decided just to go all out an go stage 3. skip the stage 2. i just need the money. an will a manual boost controller still work atih a stage 3 w/toys?
