Stage 2+ First Impressions

[ThatVdub]

Yesterday I was running stage 2+ with the OEM TBE exhaust for about 10 miles.

It is faster than stock for sure, but not too impressed, and it should essentially be stage 1+ or better.

I do have an intake and HPFP. Just waiting to install the DP, when I get the right adaptor.

Honestly... I came from an E46 M3... after Stage 2+ the car is fun... but its not what I would call FAST. I don't know if its that you get used to it after a few days... but the WOW factor has worn off after a few days for me LOL

Now I want more power!

I really think the stage 2+ should be more labled a stage 1+
But, I should reserve my comments until I get the down pipe in.

I had an FT360 R32, and honestly, it did NOT feel fast at all. So, we should not go by our butt
dyno, since I used to pull away from E46 M3's, STi's and Evo's. I pulled away from modded
NA R32's like they were childs play. But it never felt fast, and probably the nature of the having AWD.

I agree with you... I do have to say that I got my Xpel clear Bra installed yesterday so I finally did some lively driving weaving through traffic on the highway... man this car is nimble and handles well... even with the stock suspension. The AWD is soooooo forgiving!!!

3rd gear is my favorite... thats where you really feel the power.
