Need help deciding what to do next
I was wondering what I should do as my next upgrade. I already have the GM stage 1 upgrade and now was wondering what to do next. I thinking about the Dejon SRI, Dejon intercooler piping, and hahn downpipe and catback exhaust. My question is about if I want to get a BOV, how should i go about doing this? I know that you can buy the intercooler piping with the BOV flange, but I am not really sure how this works. Also I was wondering I get all of these things done do I need to get it re-tuned or is the tune still fine? I also want to lower my car and I was wondering what lowering springs are good to get and what is a reasonable amount to lower my car?

Go with ZZP's catless dp, ZZP's upper & Lower CP and then get their Intercooler when it comes out in July
You cant go wrong getting those 2 things, and then I would also get a Hahn CAI or the K&N one thats up to you

If you where going to tune on top of S1 anyways, why drop the money on S1 in the first place?

Downpipe and exhaust will keep your warranty. But intake and charge pipes will be hit or miss with your dealer. They may try to pin any future problems on them. An aftermarket tune will deff void your warranty unless you can completely flash your car back to stock before you take it in. BOV? Please no unless your going aftermarket turbo.

Im curious, and in no way want to offend you, but I assume you got S1 because you wanted to keep your warranty, but you also want to mod more, possibly voiding your warranty, including a tune on top of S1.

Downpipe for sure.
I got injen charge piping with upgraded couplers and tbolt clamps, hahn catted downpipe and a k&n drop in. You could get a intake if you want as well, the new k&n seems decent and theres another sri suppose to be out this summer. I havent decided on a intercooler yet as mpx and zzp havent really released theirs yet. I wanted to see more results from people running those.

Well when I got the S1 I didnt really want to keep modding my car, but I recently got the urge to keep modding my car so... I really dont want to get another tune, but I dont think that any of the mods will do anything if it dont get another tune. I mean I am really not sure though.

I agree, go with withe Dejon SRI/Charge piping (thats my plan also), but go with ZZP's Catless DP and MPX's exhaust (Best sounding IMO).
As far a BOV goes please don't. There is no point in release to atmosphere unless your pushing the boost to need it, and on the stock turbo your not.
However if you must then you'll need to simply order your intake and charge pipes with the flanges needed and bolt it up, be sure to get a recirculation tube because without it your going to throw codes with the LNF.
Yes you will need to get retuned because GMS1 is a new tune but it still includes the learndown feature and still holds the car at the new HP/TQ rating.
As far as lowering goes it depends on where you live. I myself can't decide if its safe or not here because WV's roads are so shitty, but Eibach Sportlines are always a reasonable choice.

Haz l33t wheelz.
I was told the LNF computer operates on a principle of airload. It asks for a certain air load (in stock for this = 260wtq) and does whatever it needs to reach that load. The new stage tune simply changes the load tables, so the car adjusts to meet them. It still has the "learndown" feature because it is still only trying to meet a certain performance cap.
