Cobbs stage 2 package doesn’t have a down pipe, just a front mount intercooler, an upgraded air filter and obviously the software. Is the down-pipe not necessary?
@DArias2 жыл бұрын
Cobbs stage 2 is a bit different and doesn’t require a downpipe for stage 2. For the EQT tune(that uses the accesport) only necessary mods are an aftermarket downpipe and 1 step colder plugs. Highly recommended to do is upgraded intercooler and inlet pipe

Hey just got a question I’m running the same set up as you, and was wondering on 93 pump gas ie downpipe and intercooler and cts intake, I wanna replace spark plugs but what did you do for gap and which plug
@DArias2 жыл бұрын
I’m currently running the oem rs7 spark plug and they are gapped to .024 . The plugs will usually come gapped correctly but you need to check just in case as in my situation I had 2 plugs gapped to .024 and 2 gapped to .026

Hey, love the videos! Curious how much you’ve spent for your stage 2? Im in Canada, where are you from?
@DArias2 жыл бұрын
I’m in the states! So for stage 2 you only really need a downpipe and colder plugs. So if you’re doing this the most budget friendly way you’re looking at about $2k depending on what parts. For me tuning was about $1k downpipe was $500 and plugs about $80 so you’re looking at $1600 (not including labor if you don’t do it yourself)

So I’ve already planned that I’ll be getting an Audi s3 this year for sure. I also want to tune it and I’ve been looking into it a lot. Since I’m still kinda new, would you mind telling me everything that is needed for stage 2? Also I’ve heard of ACU, EQT, and all these other names.. what’s the difference ?
@DArias3 жыл бұрын
So it all depends what you’re looking for .. the most power possible, reliability etc etc.. so for stage 2 you only need an aftermarket catted or catless downpipe.. colder spark plugs are very recommended I would do it.. the best benefits though would be also getting an intake, inlet pipe and intercooler too which will help with heat soak and what not.. EQT is amazing with the power you get from their tune

So here’s my suggestion ... join the EQT Facebook group.. you will see how many people make the switch from IE to EQT.. IE is good but the power isn’t comparable tbh .. might be a biased answer but many knowledgeable people in the group and they can answer whatever you need. The car is brutal with the tune
@ForRJ3 жыл бұрын
Dhillon, they are both great options, the advantage with EQT/Cobb is the availability to sell it and make a chunk of your money back, plus the availability to custom tune or try a different tuner, also you can get E30 if E85 is available. Diego, great video man, I went from stage 1 to stage 2 and really didn’t felt a big difference, the E30 did felt a huge gain in the top end, it will feel like a beast. 👍🏻

Just with the downpipe you’ll be about 400 that’s correct.. obviously more bolt ons like intake, inlet pipe, intercooler, colder plugs etc will give you a little more kick snd room for more aggressive tuning.. but these cars typically on a stage 2 93 file with only downpipe can get up to about 360-380whp and on e30 over 400whp
