What are the different turbo stages?

Hi. Im probably am one of the 1st ralliart owners on here. I got my apex silver ralliart back in Sept 2008. I am looking to just do a stage 1 right now. What are the different stages for the ralliart and what parts does it consist of? The only thing I have right now is an evo X bov and a drop in k&n filter. Looking into TTP doing an email tune for me. Im new to the turbo cars and this was my first turbo car.

As far as I know, stages are defined differently by each tuner. Some have a Stage 0, which generally is cosmetic and might include suspension mods. Stage 1 generally involves some sort of reflash/tune, but generally does not require hardware. Stage 2 usually involves both basic bolt ons and the tune to take advantage of the modifications. Stage 3 usually requires more involved bolt ons, larger turbo, changes to the fuel system, etc.

Like I said, it's going vary based on tuning houses. I would read around on these boards for right now, and familiarize yourself with what the various tuners and shops have to offer.

Also, where are you located? That might have a huge impact on who you decide to go through. Even though you can get email flashes these days, personally, I still prefer to work with local tuners. Easier for support and follow up.

For instance, I am in Southern California and have already mapped out the people that I will most likely be working with: Road Race Engineering, RobiSpec and HBSpeed.

You are down the right path with those mods. There are not a ton of power addrers with the 4b11. 90% of all the power you will gain is from the tuning alone.

Let us know when you are ready to unleash that beast!

TTP Engineering- Do you go out of state and do custom tunes like AMS for like a weekend or something? Would really like to do a custom tune with you guys if you can go to Central Texas. I am a Floridian used to live near the orlando area (Daytona Beach) but because of my current job Im in Texas. I just want to see what all the praise is with you guys and this ralliart tune.

AMS comes to Texas all the time.
and I believe TTP "may" be coming down to houston here soon.

I recommend AMS, but go with whoever you want.

When is the next time AMS or TTP will be in Texas? If its within the first 2 weeks of Sept that would be great and would get the tune whoever is in Central Texas at that time. Otherwise I would have to wait till Feb of next year to be able to get a tune.
