I have a stock 2003 SRT-4 that i just bought and am wondering if i can get a stage 2 right away or do i need and intake and bov and stuff first. What are all the basically necessairy requirements for a Stage 2 to work efficiently? BTW i want w/ toys. Also are there any cons to the stage 2 or is it perfect. Such as boost leaks and such?
i've seen 20 psi on setting 2 and 3, and i know for damn sure that i don't have any boost leaks. that's about where it should be seeing under certain conditions. remember that the boost levels change with ambient air temperature.
and i don't have my wga set at 4mm....it ran like crap at that setting.
that's what i was confused about myself...mine don't boost to 20, 18-19 is the highest i've seen it boost in 3rd, 4th, never in second, maybe 16 at most in second gear.
yeah what about getting stage 1 and the agp wastegate. is that virtually as good as stage 2? What the disadvatanges/advantages/differences between those two setups?
that is a valid question. i am not a newb, just curious as many people say that stage 2 is a waste of money when u can get virtually the same results with stage 1 and the agp wastegate.
Drivability. Stage 1 with AGP WGA sucks to drive everyday. I mean its fast as shit but i cant stand watching the boost gauge non stop. Thats why i bought stage 2. Plus when stage 3 comes out less to install.
that's what i was confused about myself...mine don't boost to 20, 18-19 is the highest i've seen it boost in 3rd, 4th, never in second, maybe 16 at most in second gear.
but 20psi is questionable under normal circumstances, unless there's a leak or a damn good 4mm measuring job.
It's too bad the car came with a boost gauge stock, people always misinterpret it as a horsepower gauge... Bigger boost numbers don't always mean bigger horsepower numbers. Boost may be an indicator, but it's part of a system including timing and fuel...
Big boost numbers (if 20 can be considered big) don't always mean there is a leak either. It may be an indicator, but it's part of a system...
Pull on one end of a string, and there's a good chance the other end will move...
