Had both without a DP. Stage 1 is more refined than the sport tuner and doesn’t give limp mode on track, but is pricey for the amount of hp.
I went stage 1 b/c I knew I’d go stage 4 at some point. Will probably go BM3 soon, tho. |

I have Dinan Stage 1 on my car and it definitely did make a difference - no question - have had it for about 15K miles - no CEL - no problems.
The only mod I have on the car. Yes it's pricey but, I didn't want a CEL. |

Runs fine on 93. No reason to run it if you only have 91.

I've got a Dinan STG1 on my 2018, along with Dinan intake, Wagner EVOII Comp FMIC, and Fabspeed catted DP. I've had the car for almost a year, only about 5800 miles, but not a single issue with it and I use it as a daily driver running on 93 octane.

I am also running the Dinan Stage 1, I installed it first and ran it for a few months. The horsepower and torque bump felt to be primarily in the mid range and was not very impressive (but I am planning on adding the Dinan Big turbo so this is a step wise process for me as well); next I added the Fabspeed 200 cell Down pipe which gave a more significant bump in power (possibly potentiated by the Stage 1; note:exhaust note is awesome though a bit loud for our neighborhood...woulda gone for a 300 cell had I known), next I put in the Dinan cold air intake which looks and sounds great but no appreciable change in power. My next step was the installation of the Dinan intercooler.
After the intercooler was in, I took it to Thunderhill and ran hard at the 5 mile course (Ferodo DS2500 pads, SS brake lines and Ohlins)...Damn it ran well, full power on demand all the time. I love this car. I am going to get a few more track days prior to my next step....the big turbo and Stage 4 awaits....
