Tuning Stages

[cwspellowe]

Stage 1 is adjusting the stock turbo and fuel pump.
Stage 2 is invariably a fmic, more often than not a slightly larger but still relatively cheap turbo, and maybe some mild pump modifications
Stage 3 is some decent money spent on the right turbo, and depending on what you're going for, further pump internals modification.
Stage 4 involves putting a large hole in the side of the block as the engine shits itself. And/or shitting your turbo. Depends largely on whether your car is a black hatchback or a white estate really...
stage 5 involves rebuilding a donor engine with forged rods and then stage 3 repeated, but has been known to end in nearly hydro locking the engine on its own oil.
Stage 6 involves supercharging it, then shitting the fuel pump

Ed in unfunny reply shocker.

That's like saying there's 16 stages of GTi tuning depending on how many valves have dropped
