What bits do you need to get for stage 2 with custom code?

 

[caveo]

not any more than hes got now as his cc phase 1 doesnt take any of his mods into account as its generic, that why it only takes an hour to do.

 

[dasmith83]

i thought for stage two you needed induction kit/filter, turbo back exhaust 4 bar fpr and uprated dv...from his list, surely he needs to exhaust at least?
