Default Stage 1,2,3,4,5+

Everyone say's the 951 is a fantastic platform to work from. I don't disagree with this point. Mine has aftermarket exhaust, a performace chip, and some extra gauges.

I hear all this talk about Stage 1, Stage 2, and so on, and so on...

I wonder....What constitutes each stage, and what would my current stage be considered.

All I know is to be fast a 951 would need to be about stage 19.

^ :yawn:

the stages are determined by the aftermarket companies that sell the kits.

I would say that since most 'stages' include a turbo upgrade, you are at stage .5

Basically, Stages are a way for each Tuner to describe there kits in a way as not to divulge vital info dirived form there hard work on what works best for them.

Higher the stage number the more power to be made.

So it varies from tuner to tuner, not from car to car.

Basically, someone's Stage 2 944 could be very different from someone elses Stage 2 944?

Correct, Stage 2 from Vitesse Racing will not be the same as Stage2 from another tuner.
