Default Stage 1 and noise level Q & A...

Spring is rapidly approaching, and I will be ordering Stage 1 for my SRT next month.

Q: How load is it over stock?

Q: Is the BOV(MOPAR) I have right now be even louder?

Thanks for the help.

it's not much louder. a little more popping, that's about it. the mopa rice plate will actually become less annoying with s1, as it controls it better so it's not going off every .3 seconds and in reverse.....

Yeah the popping occurs much more. My Mopar BOV is absolutely ridiculously loud under boost. I'm not entirely sure why. And it doesn't go off all the time at all. Most do, mine for some reason doesn't. But with S1 it is controlled a bit better.

Thanks for the info on Stage 1...

One more if I may...

Q: Will I see a big difference with the Stage 1 or not?

Q: Am I better off doing other mods for about $400.00 instead?

1.....no you won't see a big difference.

2.......no you're better off getting s1. don't be spending $400 though, get it used and have it reflashed. s1 is a starting point for modifications. it makes life a LOT easier later on.

I have heard you can do this with it, BUT...how much $$ would this be typically?

AND...I have heard pros and cons to do doing this(reflash thing)...namely that some dealers wont
do it and other's frown apon it. Someone also said that getting a reflash would not help, and I
would have problems in the future with warranty and such...

IDK, I am now unsure of what way to go...[sm=helpout.gif]

Thats silly. Some dealers don't have a clue HOW to reflash. But reflashing can be done. I've seen in done, and everyone who bought theirs used had it done. If you can save the $200 then go for it. Not sure about that warranty thing either, that makes absolutely no sense to me. I never had an issue with my reflashed Stage 1 when I had a warranty. And I've had my S1 for 3 years.

Thanks for the help...I'm all smiles now.

I will check on Ebay and other areas for one, or if you know someone that has one, let mne know...

After this is set I will try for a AGP wastegate.
