Stage 1 or 2??

Sorry, but this is a noob question I tried doing a search on topics of "Stages" on which is compatible with my car. I noticed a lot you suby owners have Stage 2 which consists of up and dp and bigger turbo etc. and my mods right now consists of all that except I have a stock turbo. So is it okay to run Stage 1 with my setup or just better off getting Stage 2. My mods:

Snorkel removed
Helix up pipe
Titek catted dp
ic hoses

To me that look's like stage 2.

What type of engine management are you using? Cobb, EcuTek, etc.

Well as of right now I'm using no engine management, I will be getting the cobb ap v.2 hopefully soon. I noticed a huge difference in price range for the stage 1 and 2 and I wanted to know if the stage 1 ap v. 2 will mate up to my mods.

Stage 1: EM usually cobb accessport

Stage 2: TBE(turbo-back exhaust) + EM

Stage 3: all of above + upgraded turbo/intercooler

yours would be considered a stage 2. hope this helped.

yeah the price differences on cobbs site is because stg 1 only comes with the AP, and stg 2 comes with AP and TBE...so just buy the AP(stg 1 on their website) and you will be golden...just plug it in and flash to stg 2 and have fun!

oic I didn't know that, I was wondering why the stage 2 package was way more expensive. It should state on the cobb site it does come with the tbe maybe it does, but I didn't see it lol. Thanks guys I can't wait for the new one hopefully it will come in today!
