You will often see parts makers quoting mods in stages. Typically manufacturers of performance parts and car tuning companies use 1 – 3 to denote the state of tune provided. This is generally a pretty meaningless statment to make but there are some general similarities that help one understand what is on offer.
So what does a tuning stage mean and what are the differences between a stage 1 and stage 3 tune up.
There is a wide divergence of opinion on the web about these and some manufacturers merely mean option 1, option 2 or option 3 and give differing power figures for each option.
