i think i read somewhere that a stg 1 on the 04' is almost ptless...
I don't have S1 because I'm just starting to mod mine and I'm leaning more toward S2 w/ TT's. I'm not sure if either of you have experience with S1, but there are many with S1 and only a few other mods that run very close to S2 numbers. I don't know if I would call that pointless.

If I could start over this would of been my order:
OCC first. Good preventive maintanence for your motor system
STS. Better shift feel for your new found speed and twice as fun to drive with.
Sway bars. Helps reduce bodyroll for your new found speed
Stage 1. More speed and from what I have heard alot nicer to upgrades.
Exhuast(mopar preferably). Essential to stage 1 and sounds hella mean!
CAIntake. More air in more air out.
Up-pipe w/greddy type-s or HKS SSQ BOV and Block Off Plate. If I had the money I would have done this instead of the mopar BOV. Way better sounding IMO and won't bleed off at low speeds.
Stage 3 springs. After the car is tuned for speed and handling these bank breaking struts and springs will make the car handle even better and look even tougher.
Wastegate and boost controller. After all is said and done with the light engine tune up and suspension upgrades these parts will definately give you the power control you will be looking for.

I don't have all of these parts because the third thing I bought was the stage 2 springs that set me back $1100. I could have bought stage 1 hotchkis swaybars wastgate and boost controller. My car handles great but I want more power. I am now at stage 0 and BANK 0! Definately the next thing is stage 2.

skip stage one go to two. do you have a turbo timer, and you'll want a occ.
But go with CA intake, exhaust, bov, wgt, then whatever else you've got in mind.

I want to stick the turbo kit from AGP on my car.

Thanks for the replies..Yeah I just bought my car so my bank account isnt too pretty right now to go along with rent n other goodies..hehe i'm 24...so i wanted to just gradually build up the car..I've only had it for like 40 days. I think I am going to start by ordering the stage 1 then K&N cold air intake...About the mopar bov..whats the difference in that then something like the Turbo XS Blow Off Valve?..(besides like $100 hehe)

thanks

The Turbo XS is supposed to be a little louder. But most people find the Mopar BOV loud enough, especially with the enhancement provided by Stage 1...and, like someone else noted, it's specifically made for the SRT-4 and PT Cruiser engine....[&:]

don't buy everything at once! slowly, but you need to put them in a certain order so that way you compliment each mod to the next.

When you DO put your performance mods on like a CAI, Mopar/Borla exhaust, don't forget to disconnect the negative battery terminal for awhile and then reconnect it. That will let your PCM "re-learn" your cars performance with the new mod....
