No problem, like I said... I wasn't trying to be a jerk.

If you paid for DP's, a chargepipe, and a BOV......not running the stage 2 tune because you are affraid of a slight mpg drop ....just makes no sense. Why not get all of that HP that you essentially paid $400++ for ?? It's just a button push away.

And honestly, I didn't see hardly any mpg drop from stock to the stage 2+ tune I'm on now. If you can just manage to drive it easy.....you might even see a slight bump in MPG. Those cats are a big restriction...the DP's flow a lot more.

It's power you've already paid for...might as well use it. Stage 2 rocks!! 👍

As said, you're mileage will only be worse if you are FLOORING it everywhere. If you are just doing stop and go traffic/delivery as you say then you're not going to be boosting all the time therefore you're really not going to be using much more gas if any. You start using/wasting gas when the throttle is fully open(sucking in more air therefore needing more fuel) and your car is making boost, so just cruising around town and delivering food isn't going to kill your MPG over what it already is

Foshoo thankyou! Should i run mhd stage 1 with catless downpipes and a vrsf chargepipe? At this point im not going stage 2 because i need an intercooler and dual cone intakes thats the only reason now im coolin with mpg after learning stuff from all these people.

No, run regular stage 2, but not stage 2+. Stage 2 is if you have down pipes, you don't need DCI's. You'll want an intercooler and DCI's/Intake for sure if running Stage 2+. Stage 1 wont even account for the DP, so useless to run it
