Default RE: Stage 2 Turbo Has Arrived!!

on the mopar site there are photos of the stage three and stage two components, including the "turbo toys". I hadn't got that excited over a picture of something since reading the articles in a famous gentlemens magazine. but it looks like the controls for the intercooler sprayer, dial-down turbo ****, and the hi-octane switch are going to be nessled between the rear window defrost button and the accessory power plug under the radio. it is sooooo sweet!

You would be correct. That is what they are and where they go.

Maybe this will sound like a stupid question but I'm wondering how difficult the use of the Intercooler sprayer, dial down ****, and hi-octane switch for an idiot like myself would be to learn. About how user friendly are they and how often would you use them or change the settings?

I don't think it would be too difficult to get used to. Most people are not going to be adjusting the controls that often. It all depends on your driving style. If you go WOT all the time, the cooler switch will be on a lot and the dial down **** won't be. For everyday "normal" driving (if there IS such a thing), you'd probably never touch the controls at all. If you're using racing gasolline for $5 a gallon, YOU'll KNOW when to use the hi-octane switch....[sm=smiley36.gif]

Oh I'll let you know how it goes.

I have the S2 badge in hand, but I am waiting for them to program the PCM and ship them to me.
As you can see in the fuzzy photo ( sorry about that) I am the #002 to get Stage 2, but I am the 1st on to
get Stage 2 with Turbo Toys Whooohoooo.

At the SRT Nationals, Mopar expected to sell only 20 Stage 2 kits, but when word went out, it was like a mad dash to get you VIN numbers an mileage and head to the sales tables. LOL Lucky for me I just happen to be standing next to the Mopar Sales Manager ( Gina) and she told me that they were going to sell them at the meet. Greg aka Rezin8 got #001, which he should have for the work he did to put on the SRT-4 National event.

So there will be a bunch of Stage 2 Install Parties in the next few weeks. :-) And I'll do a photo documentation of the install. Then its off to the local dyno shop to see what she will pull.

They needed your VIN number and your mileage? That sounds like they are getting set to fight warranty repair claims, not good. They are probably getting prepared to hang you by your mods, so that they aren't the ones footing the bill if you have problems and then they'll blame the problems/failure on the mods thus voiding their being at fault.[sm=smiley3.gif][sm=smiley24.gif]

I had the same thoughts. That's the main reason I haven't gotten a S1 or S2 yet. I'm waiting to see how well they hold up and Dodge's policy/attitude towards the warranty work...
