What is Stage 2?
What exactly is Stage 2 tuning? The term “Stage 2” represents the ultimate level of upgrading your engine, offering even higher performance gains than Stage 1.
Discover with us the essential aspects of Stage 2 tuning and how it can transform your car into a powerful and high-performing machine.
Engine optimization with quality parts
Stage 2 tuning involves a significant improvement in engine performance by combining the reprogramming of the Electronic Control Unit (ECU), also known as the car’s computer, with car modifications.
Key elements of Stage 2 tuning often include replacing the downpipe, installing a high-quality exhaust system, improving air intake with a high-performance intake system, and, of course, advanced ECU reprogramming.
These modifications work together to significantly increase the power, torque, and overall performance of your car’s engine.

Benefits of Stage 2 tuning
Stage 2 tuning offers a range of undeniable benefits for performance car enthusiasts. By optimizing the exhaust flow with the downpipe and sports exhaust system, the engine can expel exhaust gases more efficiently, resulting in a significant increase in power and responsiveness.
Improving air intake also allows the engine to benefit from cooler air, enhancing combustion efficiency. Thanks to the advanced ECU reprogramming, all these components work in harmony to unleash the full potential of your vehicle, providing an unparalleled driving experience.
Stage 2 vs. Stage 1 - Choosing the ideal upgrade
The main difference between Stage 2 and Stage 1 tuning lies in the level of performance improvement.
While Stage 1 already offers significant gains in power and torque, Stage 2 pushes the boundaries even further with additional car modifications. However, it’s essential to note that Stage 2 tuning requires more delicate adjustments and entails additional costs compared to Stage 1.
In conclusion, Stage 2 tuning represents the pinnacle of engine optimization for your car, combining advanced ECU reprogramming with high-quality hardware improvements. With the replacement of the downpipe, the addition of an exhaust, improved air intake (intake), and precise ECU reprogramming, your vehicle will reach a new level of power and performance. If you’re looking for an even more intense driving experience and are ready to invest in more extensive modifications, Stage 2 tuning is the ideal solution to unleash the full potential of your car.

WHAT IS A STAGE TUNE?
Car tuning is the modification of a car to optimize it for a different set of performance requirements from those it was originally designed to meet.
WHAT IS A STAGE ONE TUNE?
A stage 1 tune is an ECU remap or chip tune. This is the most cost-effective way to modify any vehicle for performance. New turbo-petrol vehicles respond extremely well to stage 1 tuning and commonly see a 20 – 40% increase in bhp and torque.
A stage 1 tune is best combined with a high-performance air filter such as those from K&N or other aftermarket manufacturers, and we always recommend that the customer runs their vehicle on the highest octane available to burn off all of the buildups in the engine and prolong the life of all mechanical components.
WHAT IS A STAGE TWO TUNE?
A stage 2 tune involves fitting free flow pipes in the exhaust system . In this case, this system is designed to improve airflow from the engine and is also well-known for improving the sound of a car.
A stage 2 tune at the very least needs to be performed by somebody who can buy the right parts and fit them without any risk of getting it wrong. It is also at this stage that an upgraded induction kit is usually installed to improve airflow to the engine. Depending on the car manufacture we can get stage 1 + 10%-20% increase in power.
WHAT IS A STAGE THREE TUNE?
A stage 3 tune is considered by most to be a level that’s best invested in for track or drag racing. That’s because it can be very expensive. It usually involves upgrading cooling, fueling, spark plugs, inlet valves, intake and more in addition to all stage 2 modifications.
This stage will require a car to be set up on a rolling road or dyno to optimize the fuel and timing and correct exhaust emissions. It is also at this stage that the stock turbo on a car needs to be upgraded, although this is recommended as the final modification to complete vehicle tuning.
WHAT IS A STAGE FOUR TUNE?
Stage 4 is the last stage of tuning for most cars. What’s modified for a tune to be classed as stage 4 is open to interpretation, but at the very least, it is here that an upgraded turbocharger/ supercharger, such as a hybrid turbo, is installed. Along with that enforcing the engine with forged pistons, rods, bearings, crankshafts, gaskets, sleeves.
Stage 4 may also include an upgraded oil cooler, port injection. In the vast majority of cases, stage 4 cars are not for road use and are instead track-only cars.
