Yea.. sorry... I went with Ar designs.. I had a Velos stage 2, then went and had them retune to stage 3 for the catless.. Had a bad gas smell, but once i had the stage 3 tune uploaded it was reduced drastically... The turbo spool was worth it in itself..

It was bad...I had him send me a revised tune to turn the CEL off.. He then emailed me saying he had an updated tune for the catless DP's that would pick up more power... (For a price).... And i can say the the gas smell is almost all gone.....

I have the velos tune right now but not catless downpipes. How much of a power difference do you feel with these and the retune vs just velos S2 tune?

What is the difference between stage 2 and stage 3?

I figured stage 1 = tune.
Stage 2 tune + downpipes.
Stage 3 tune + downpipes + headers.
Stage 4 tune + downpipes + headers + turbos.

According to Omar, the Stage 2 + Downpipe mod will produce more power in the mid-range, also better fuel ratio which minimized the gas smell.
even i stop at the light, no gas smell.

I have the Stage 2 upgrade, it feels much faster when it over 100MPH.

gotta do the 1/4 mile on the drag.
