But I started with Stage 1 then upgraded to Stage 2 on both of my F10 528 and F15 X5 35i. I do notice 1 thing, the Stage 1 is more jerky, while the Stage 2 is more smooth. That's where a lot of users says the Stage 1 is more noticeable. That's based on my experience on my own cars and customers cars that I've installed them on.

With Stage 1, you can feel the sudden increase of the boost. So, you can feel the car suddenly push.

And Is the configurable map also prepared in order for me not start from scratch? As for Stage 2 map 2, you need a free flow exhaust at the minimum... Do you count the ER 200 cell cat a part of this, or does one have to go catless? Will the authorities be able to measure the difference between the stock and the ER cat? TIA/Krelle

If I remember correctly, Stage 1 is +2 or +3 psi from stock.
While Stage 2 map 1 is +4 or +5 psi from stock. You can use Stage 2 map 1 from scratch. You can use Map 2 with Hi-flow cat. As far as authority, I am not sure. But I you are experienced, the catless will put out rotten egg smell from the tailpipe. I hope that clear up your questions.

I know about the smell. However the question was related to whether the ER catted dp would pass an inspection unnoticiable with regards to the exhaust fumes. (I know they'll spot the difference if they look at the cat itself..). Krelle

Was that measured electronically or with a gauge?
What is stock pressure? Thanks, Krelle

Would a Borla S-type (full catback) count as a "free flow" exhaust? I still have stock downpipe (and never plan on the mess of getting a different downpipe), but I'd potentially like to run map 2. Also, does anyone know the increased psi with the "older" MPPK (+20 hp +32 torque)? Would it be worth it to upgrade to either BMS Stage 1 or the JB4 if I already have the MPPK?

MPPK has great torque but less power. I got it only for the burbling.. Krelle

@Krelle,
If it smog check, I believe you should pass. Never saw it done first hand. @The Nerd, I have saw it done. And BMS also said that it can be done. But then, the question is, why? You should've invest that money to the JB4, downpipe, and exhaust. As for the exhaust, yes, with that you will be able to run Map 2. On my F15, I am still on stock downpipe and exhaust. But since the stock exhaust system is using a 3" straight pipe (no resonator), that allow me to run on map 2 with the EWG.

Otherwise there is "no" difference ER catted dp versus ER dp to me as I would have to dismount this to pass the test. I believe many europeans would like this matter solved, so if there's anyone out there who has tried stuffing a probe up their exhaust or passed the test with a race cat, please let me know. Krelle

No,it's not that big a deal to change, but if it could be avoided it wouldn't have the WAF to comment on the smell. Belive power isn't that much off. Krelle

This may have been covered before, but if I buy a stage 1, if I want to go jb4 stage 2 later I can upgrade without paying the full price of a jb4 stage 2 correct?
