To those of you with Stage 0 w/ downpipe
I've had the Stage 0 kit w/ downpipe for a few weeks now. For some reason, I'm not really impressed with the power. I'm thinking maybe it's because the map from the Vishnu site is a bit too conservative for my particular car. I may need to get it tune to really feel/take advantage of the power. Can anyone w/ the Stage 0 kit please comment?

I don't have the Vishnu stages 0 (I've a dynoflash, 3" cat back and K&N), but you might have a problem similar to mine. I had a noisy engine for some reasons (including bad gas). Anyway, the engine knocked a lot and the ECU pulled the timing to protect the engine. If you have this problem, you'll never make much power, furthermore, the more aggressive the maps you load, the more knock you could have and the more timing the engine will pull... It's a vicious cycle. You might try doing some dyno tuning or street tuning if you have not already done it, and find out if you have this problem before you try other cures.

thanks for the reply!
what kind of engine noise should i listen for? I don't think there's any abnormal noise I've encountered.
Anyone from Austin/Houston, TX know how much MZM or Turbochargers charge for tuning? I'm deciding on whether to get my car tuned yet or not...'cause I wanna get the cam gears or even the cams before doing any tuning.

Which map are you running? Do you have a boost guage? The difference between Stage 0 with DP and stock should be very noticeable. Especially between 4500-7500rpm.
