next on the list catless down pipe hahn exhaust charge pipping and hahn intercooler should take about two months to get every thing done and installed

 

good start!!

If you can dyno before and after GMs1 and than before and after bolt onts

 

What is it? Is it like a map for the ecu?

 

sub'd

 

Very nice Ernie!

 

2 tmap sensors and a tune.


Good kit! was a nice boost in power. I have a hahn downpipe in the mail waiting for me

 

You will LOVE it.

 

I should be ordering mine next friday so its really worth the 700 guys honestly?

 

If you want to keep your warranty... HELL YES!

And you can always tune on top of it for some more power.

 

Sweet cant wait! Heard nothing but good things about it

 

700? CED has them for $465 or 480 something insanely cheap. Install should be around 2 hours, so like 100-200. I installed my own sensors though and just drove to a gm dealer and had them flash it.

 

I meant all together like ced is 485-495 shipped i believe then like 200 for install i would love to install it myself and just pay for the flash but if something happens i wouldnt want it to come back on me i know it saves your warrenty and all but dont you need it installed by the dealer to keep it under warrenty and did you just drive it to the dealer without being in boost at all then and get the flash.. how hard were they to install?

 

does anybody know the part #s for the 2 tmap sensors that are in the stage 1?

 

took me about 3 hours but I went really slow. The hard part is the cold side (bottom) sensor. its just awkward to get too specially when the car is only on ramps. I dont trust a dealer with my car, so thats why I did it that way. If the dealer has installed it before you should be ok. Theres been some horror stores about it on this site...and it doesnt surprise me.

 

Yeah, there are quite a few of us that have been having issues with the gm stage kit.

 

This is probably a stupid question but because you installed it yourself does it matter to them warrenty wise? Its an option i might take if it doesnt matter im in school for automotive i would feel comfortable doing it myself i just thought they had to install it for warrenty purposes

 

it doesnt matter who installs the parts, but you still need them to flash it.

 

bill the gmpp engineer said no. As long as its installed properly it will be covered. Call the dealer and ask if they have installed them before, if so then its easier to trust them. If you are the first....mmmm ya dunno then :P Usually it just gets miss wired.

 

negrita you going to the dealership in Tampa for the install? i was heading up next week to have them do it.

 

has anybody heard any rumours or anything about the gm intake? it was brought up a long time ago but i haven't seen anything since.

 

Well I did the install as long as Gm deal reflash it you keep your warranty and no I'm having my dealer do the flash in Orlando they told me $105-$135 only a hour to do it but I know I saved alot doing the install my self soo easy too

 

Just out of curiosity why spend an assload for GM stg. 1 when you can go with trifecta or hp tuners, ur warranty is down the drain anyways with the bolt ons, could've saved way more money and also have a GT tuner along with the tune, and then re-flash it back to stock just in case u need warranty check.

 

So its not hard to install the stage 1 and its warrentied then if you install it and how much do they charge for the flash? do you just have to stay out of boost on the way to the dealer then and it wont through cels?

 

This is true but the sensor can read higher boost and the reflash also change things you will not be able to with the trifeca or hp tuners plus I have hp tuners and it's still on beta god knows for how long I also heard several cobalts with terifeca tune has blown some motors

 

i guess so but the ones with trifecta are mostly the people run high psi like over 24 or infinitune, but like I said if u do blow the motor all u do is reflash it and get the warranty work done.
