At this time, how many here have true Stage 3- or Stage 4 (AMS) ECUs, TIA?
Or are most people here that are Stage 3- are homebrew stage 3- with stage 1 software?

huh? A "homebrew" car is still a full stage 3 even though it is using K03 code
A 3- is Ko4's with stock fueling, thus you are limted to about 400 hp. You are basically maxing out the injectors at that point. Homebrew stage 3's are using larger MAF's and injectors and are all lemmitweaked out and are considered stage 3 (hell they tend to be faster than lots of tuner kits out there) FWIW I'm an APR 3-

My mistake then. I was under the impression that a Homebrew Stage 3- means..more
Using ECUS coded for K03s as in Stage 1 software as oppose to a true Stage 3- which has ECUs coded for K04s.

My car with APR v5 code with K04's looks pretty much like it did with K03's (no Lemmi tweaks).

Yea, like I said not that fast, haha. Pulls a little harder up top where K03's fell off
I was stayed pretty even with an AMS 3- (k03 code) the other day, but I'm catless and he had piggies. I'm sure a GIAC 3- would pull on me though. This is more of a hold over until I get EPL tuned... hopefully sometime this summer.
