Stage 1 gives you a new fuel map as well as a safe range for more boost, it's stupid to think 2004's come with Stage 1 cause THEY DO NOT. Only the injectors. Sure, you can fool the stock ECU for the overboost code and the CAT delete, but let's see how long your car withstands the added stress without the proper ECU/Fuel map/tuning.
