IE STAGE 2 LIGHT
IE Stage 2 light software is for customers who have installed a downpipe required for Stage 2 but have yet to install an IE High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP). Installing a performance downpipe while running a stock or Stage 1 ECU tune can result in over-boost conditions, check engine lights, or "Limp Mode". Stage 2 light will increase power levels taking advantage of the downpipe change while keeping safe fuel operating conditions. This will increase power greatly over Stage 1, but not to our full IE Stage 2 High Torque file. Stage 2 light is included with the purchase of a Stage 2 file, once an upgraded HPFP is added, the user may upgrade to IE Stage 2 at any time at no additional cost.
