i just got a stage1 about a week ago and the last owner made me kinda mad! i havent had my car for about 4 days now cuz its been in the shop cuz the owner before me had a crap load of upgrades to it and then set the boost to 30psi on a stock motor and blew the rings! I did not know this when i got it till that night cuz it just started to smoke white like a hella lot so it was bad but its getting fixed and i cant wait the get it back and this car is a hell of alot better then my civic!!! i will have pics of it in about a week so till then!!

Well this car just pulled hard as hell, and the boost didnt go over 15 i think. So this guy must of done it correct but I still want to check to see if its stage 2 complete. How can I check the computer to see if it stage 2. and also it has the mopar stage 2 badge and i want to have the sleeper look not the give away!!

 

Anyone?

 

Ok to identify stage 2,first look at the wastegate and see if has threads on it(stock is a plain arm),second the pcm will have 2 stickers on it one that says Stage 2 pcm not for use on pollution controlled vehicles and the other one will say for cars that vin end in these last six digits------!!I agree about the badge i installed my stage 2 w/toys and my badge is hanging on my wall above my shrine of srt pics...Congrats on the new ride im sure your gonna love it I know i do!!!

 

The PCM (engine bay:driver side:next to radiator mount) should say whether or not on it. Someone around here has a pic cuz I had the same question. Check Newbie Question re: Stage 1 in the Drivetrain Performance section.... I'd post a link, but it is easy enough to navigate over there....

 

I have a video camparing several BOV's sounds. PM me if you want it.

 

should be about 18 to 19 psi with stg2 droping to 15 to 16 by redline.

 

I heard the sounds of the bov's and I liked all of them. I had a question, is Turbo XS a good company and is there model RFL any good because I heard it doesnt recirculate. Does that hurt your motor?

 

??? Also I drove the car and I didnt see it boost pass 15 so I guess its not?? But I'll check the PCM
