I would definitely replace your charge pipe though before anything else. The stock one really can't handle the added boost. The engine bolt-ons I am running are: AA Signature Turbo-back Exhaust (Catless DP) ER Charge Pipe Wagner EVO 2 Competition Intercooler Pipercross Air Filter I am running my BM3 tune with Cold Start delete. That was the main problem I had with the VF Hex tune. There is no option to turn the CS off and they refuse to modify the tune to do so. The car is loud with the AA exhaust and I like the option of being able to start the car without having to shout my presence to the world. I can do that on demand with my right foot when needed. |

From a layman's perspective, your cranking up the boost when going to Stage 2. Giving the car the ability to produce a more abundant supply of cooler air will allow the engine to produce more power. I went with the Wagner IC because it required no modification to the car while being a big upgrade from stock. From my reading though many of the other brands deliver for sure, some require modification and some don't. |

Speaking of features, I definitely need the cold start delete, no secondary o2 sensor checking (for sport cat).
But I'm getting a DV+ which can throw a CEL as well. Can either of these tunes ignore checking the DV or increase whatever thresholds it needs? |

BM3 Tune
Could someone explain to me the difference between Stage 1,2,3,and 4, of a Tune? I am considering a Bootmod Tune, and currently have a stock engine.

Beyond that everything gets a little blurry, so unless you're going to have more involved modifications (turbo, fuel upgrade), and a professional tune, I wouldn't worry about those. |

[/QUOTE] What would be the mechanism for this? Why would the ECU care whether the valve mechanism in the diverter valve is upgraded? I've had a DV+ for almost a year now and no hint of a CEL.... |

I've had a DV+ for almost a year now and no hint of a CEL....[/QUOTE] It has two modes - OEM or optional spring for holding boost between shifts. The OEM mode just makes it stronger and reliable, the installation with the spring improves driving experience but manufacturer warns that it can throw a CEL. Which way do you have it installed? |

With the spring. Sport setting.
Good mod. Between the UCP, an SSK and the DV+, it's actually a nice manual shifting experience. Next step is to remove the CDV. |

Cool, thanks for valuable info. I hope to see you at some PNW event so I can check out these mods. I'm only planning to do the DV+ and CDV. I'll be choosing an intercooler and downpipe to maximize throttle response rather than power.

I think BM3 can clear error codes but I've never had cel with DV+

Curious why there's no consideration to a Dinan kit? Anyone with experience about the above mentioned tunes relative to a Dinan stage 1?

I strongly recommend you speak to Bob from Stage FP. He used to be the mastermind behind BPC’s tunes, and I’ve seen a few 400whp (SAE/uncorrected) N55 dynos from him.
Too bad for my car, the current fuel pump is failing so I don’t get the full benefit of the custom tune he made - because it is awesome. |
