Sean92AWD Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I did some searching but really didnt find answers for what i was looking for. First this is my first OBD2 performance car. I come from DSM's where SAFC's cured all. I have an 05 LGT. I just purchased after alot of research a CNT Up-Pipe, CNT Catted DP, Perrin CBE, and Sub-002 Accessport. My questions are. On the Accessport is the Stage 2 93 Octane tune sufficient enough for now or should i get it pro-tuned sooner than later. The factory TMIC how long do i really have with these mods before this thing pops. (didnt see a thread with life expetancy on stage 2 cars) Is a Pump reccomended for the boost pressure Stage 2 carries as well as what percentages are people seeing with injector duty cycles. I want to have a reliable Stage 2 and if more things are needed i would rather get them before there are issues caused. I wont race the car have barely gotten on it since i purchased it. Only upgrading due to the fact my factory CBE is showing some rust so worried about the cats going bad. Like i said did some research before i purchased what i did and the site has been alot of help thus far. Just some more direct questions i have that i couldnt find answers for. Thanks.

ShatzGT2 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Went stage 2 on my 05LGT, and blew the end tanks on my TMIC after a day or two.(vacuum lines as well...but that's an easy fix) That said, the Cobb tune was just fine, but I think a lot of the guys on the forum will second my opinion to get the car professionally tuned. I went with Shamar at Infamous, and it's def/ worth the extra 150$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourConfused Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 About a month and over 3k miles on stage 2 tune from Shamar and no blown lines or tmic. My car has 45k on it if that makes a difference? I only get on it for a second or so at a time, but the car runs much better than it did stock as my daily driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock2534 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I think you are ok with the cobb tune, but you could get more out of the car with the e-tune. The cost of the e-tune is low ($150), and they will take into consideration whether you are running the stock tmic, to try and keep the boost low enough as to not blow it apart.

LGT For ME Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 ^I got my car road/etuned by Eric at Torqued performance a good alt to infamous. Couldnt be happier with the tune/service and he is always available if you have issues pop up. good luck, stg 2 is a fun dd car. You could get several tunes at w/ various part upgrades for the same price as a accessport FYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean92AWD Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Well i already have everything i mentioned. Currently looking for an intercooler. Would prefer a FMIC but having to buy a intake would require a pro-tune(unless those can be e-tuned) so a TMIC may be my only option. Can the AP be e-tuned? I see most e-tunes using opensource.

I see most e-tunes using opensource. wrong. PM itsme on this forum. the racer-x fmic kit does not require an aftermarket intake or coolant resevoir overflow. I installed this kit on my car. The price is roughly the same as a new tmic anyway, the racer-x kit is primo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiedad51 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 You can do an e-tune, or a pro tune on an AP. Infamous provides his tune in a map that you can load on your AP. Same as if you were using opensource. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
