What does stage 2 involve
Post 104446 by heyes on 2006-05-03 22:21:53
This is from the website. I am trying to get the same buz as when I had my Saab Aero.
RICA ECU Upgrades | RICA T5 Stage 2 | RICA T5 Stage 3 | Custom Tuning
The Ultimate T5 Upgrade - 340 bhp and 450 Nm Torque
Make no mistake, the Stage 2 T5 upgrade transforms the T5 into a real supercar. This upgrade involves replacing your turbo charger for a larger one, together with a matching full exhaust system, and a remap of the ECU to unleash the full potential of this upgrade.
The Stage 2 upgrade is the best performance upgrade that can be reliably achieved without further modifications to the engine. If you need more power than this, please contact NASA!!!
What's Included
New larger Volvo Turbocharger
Stainless Steel Downpipe with Race Cat
Stainless Steel Cat Back Exhaust System
Turbocharger Fitting Kit and Sundries
Stage 2 ECU Software
Rolling Road Time
Labour
Please note that any addition parts and labour required to get the car to a condition suitable for the Stage 2 upgrade
are not included in the price for the Stage 2 upgrade.
Power and Torque Curves for Stage 2 T5 Upgrade
Please note that the Stage 2 upgrade is best suited to manual transmission T5 cars and applies to the pre-2005 spec models. If you would like any further information please call 01527 577710 for further details.

Ive found stage 2 to be "adequate" to put the frightners on pretty much anything on the road with 4 wheels, supposed supercars included!
Everyday fast cars like Audi TTs, Leon Cupras and BM 330s,etc are easy pickings.
You'll find its the top end when it really comes alive, it just takes performance to the next level and keeps pulling with even greater ferocity to the rev limiter!:B_steerin

I was trying to remain cool about the transformation but now I can't wait to try it out and compare it to the aero that I had and put some of my old mates at Saabscene in there place.:thewave:

This is exactly what I found when mine was mapped last week with the 19t on.The car is much more gradual with alot of power low down but it pulls all the way through the rev range and god knows when it will stop cos I had a bit frisk with an impreza wrx on my way home and was leaving him after 120 easy! (on that stretch of private runway!):cop:
It is a different feeling to the 18 but I'm havin great fun gettin used to it:sinner:
The car just doesnt stop pullin like a train in every gear!

Mine is a right beast, and thats with the transfer box and 4 wheel drive, so I would imagine the 2 wheel drives really fly!:B_steerin
