Right after 1200 brk-in... So 9000 miles it's a DD

Modified file sent back to me within one hour and the new file loaded within 15 minutes (8-10 for the actual coding)! Thanks VF! There were a couple steps that didn't follow the instruction precisely, but they were relatively minor.

I will swap out the FMIC and change to summer tires tomorrow morning to test the new coding - so excited!

It's Friday!
We couldn't let you miss the weekend.

Hope you enjoy, and I'm sure others can't
wait to hear your first impressions.

Cool, that makes me feel very confident in the tune as I am also a high mile driver, after all that is what they were built for. Loving stage 1 and once I get my downpipe and can install the rest such as the intercooler I am really curious to see what a beast this thing becomes under stage 2. State 1 takes a fun quick car and makes it a blast to drive. All of a sudden there are cops all over, its almost like they know I want to play. Track day on the 24th so I will report back them. I am sure it will be a blast.

18EM2 · 03-17-2018, 04:32 PM

Can’t wait to finish my 1200 mile break-in.
Do those with stage 2 ever use stage 1 sometimes?

TT1351 · 03-17-2018, 05:09 PM

I only have Stage 2, I don’t think if Stage 1 was easily switchable, why would I want less power. Just my thought so.

18EM2 · 03-17-2018, 05:15 PM

I’m thinking some might switch to get better gas mileage or less wear and tear on the engine/drivetrain/tires?

TT1351 · 03-17-2018, 05:58 PM

I don’t think it matters really. If your just chugging along with light throttle, you might be using 78 horsepower, that will be 78 hp in either stock, Stage 1 or Stage 2 form. So if you have Stage 2, back off a bit if you want to conserve all of the above mentioned items of concern.

GreyF87 · 03-19-2018, 08:03 AM

I have intake and Fabaspeed DP....is a stage one suffice? or should I get a stage 2?

Just go straight to stage 2 if you already have all the supporting mods.

///cbrash · 03-19-2018, 09:26 AM

Just ordered my downpipe, should be here within the week.

Then its stage two time!

An upgraded intercooler would be really what you need in addition to the others to get the full monty.

GreyF87 · 03-19-2018, 08:10 PM

I am looking at two tunes for now....
ActiveAtowerks or Hex tune.
Hex Tune I only get Stage 1....I have to pay 100.00 more for the stage 2.
AA will have both stage 1,2....I just flash when Im ready and installed.
price is about the same.....your thoughts on this???
Im kinda leaning towards Hex now.....???

Your asking a group of Hex guys.. But nonetheless, it's easily the best tune on the market in my eyes! You wont regret it.

pruettfan · 03-19-2018, 09:43 PM

I ordered Stage 2 but asked for them to send Stage 1 also, currently have stage 1 on the car as I am waiting for the DP and IC then will go to stage 2

///cbrash · 03-26-2018, 06:29 PM

Any on here running stage two with a sport cat? And if so, what sport cat?

I just installed my Wagner sport cat and Im pumped for stage two!

Which Wagner IC do you have?

pruettfan · 03-26-2018, 11:23 PM

Did a couple of track days with my car stock with the exception of the stage 1 tune and I was really impressed. The additional torque and makes the M2 much more like the M4 in terms of acceleration. Great and simple way to add power. Because it is so good I have decided to not go to stage 2 and do the intercooler, chargepipe and downpipe, gonna sell that stuff and get a set of track wheels and tires. Probably will do the stage two later but the boss/wife says pick one, tried the both suggestion but didn't work.
