what are the diff stage numbers?...
is there a stage 'standard' in effect for the industry as a whole? or do different manufacturers of aftermarket equip just label it stage 1, 2, etc..., without adhering to any standard. i guess an easier version of this question would be: Would an apr stage 2 be the same as a Tap stage 2 (pes, hoppen, etc...)

Most stage 2's include chip, filter and exhaust.
Then stage 2+ would add 100+ race chip, race pipe.
Stage 2++ upgrade to K04
Stage 3 turbo larger then K04
Stage 3+ would add FMIC, race pipe
Stage 3++ would include 100+ race chip
After that it should go
Stage 4 any turbo using a external wastegate, internal motor work or nos

cuz there is so many different combinations, i am not sure which mods are needed to attain a certain stage level.

yeah...not that many people are overly concerned about
stage levels. There are so many options out there. Tuners use the stage levels as part of their marketing. It's a way to make an option like an exhaust, which tends to cost more than a chip and give much less appealing. So if stage 1(just a chip) makes a car this much faster, imagine what a stage 2car feels like etc.
So like Mike said is a good way to label the stage of your car.
