xHP offers more... Just download the app and look at all options it offers.

One of the best feature for stock turbo is you can set what rpm to switch gears under WOT condition... You can set to shift gears at 5500rpm since stock turbo runs out of juice at that time and always stay in power band.

Agreed! When I had a stock exhaust even at the max burble setting it wasn't very loud. The stock mufflers also make the burbles sound really lame

I ended up just turning the burbles off, then reflashed - I could not get it to work at all. From what I'm hearing, it sucks anyway in stock.

This is going to come out sounding wrong, but finally it happened to someone I was starting to think my "just in case" FTP CP was a total waste after the earlier comments in this very thread.

At least you know what you've got to do

Isn't it better to just replace instead of patching, especially if over stock boost?

+1 on the CP. Safety first. You're going to Stage 2 soon anyway so just do it. Trust me on that car, Stage 2 with upgraded turbos, you're going to love if you go that route.

I’m installing a charge pipe and a downpipe on stage one is that ok?
I’ve read a lot about swapping the charge pipe but not a lot on the down pipe.
