New to the N55 game....has anyone confirmed whats actually different between the two besides adding CAN clear? HP doesn't seem more with stage 2?

I an looking more than just "oh its better and feels smoother". Heck if i am paying more i want to know what I am paying for besides being able to clear codes.

Thanks
Alan

Yeah I went with Stage 1 and am happy with it, didnt feel like messing with the ECU but seems like its pretty simple. How much longer would you say the install/uninstall comparing Stage 1 and 2? I know the dam cowl and HVAC filter always takes me the longest to install back on when I go to dealer.

I haven't uninstalled my Stage 2 yet, but I'd guess that it would take less than 5 additional minutes versus Stage 1. The initial install takes a little longer since there are a few additional steps, like putting the pins into the connector. But those steps are a one-time deal, so the reinstall would be much faster.
