[bamblue54]

alright someone clerify this for me. if for exaple something is stage 2, is it better than the same thing at stage 1? like clutches. what would the difference be between a stage 1 clutch and stage 2 clutch? or the same with turbos. are there stages for those too and what are the differences? THANX

A higher stage clutch "should" hold more power etc than a lower stage one, but a higher stage clutch will catch a lot quicker and "harsh" compared to a lower stage. Most people only go up to a stage 3 in a street car, otherwise it is difficult to drive daily.

ie/

most 3s swaps use a 2nd or 3rd stage clutch.

I have a spec stage 2 etc.

but its like Jay said, each company has a different standard for their "stages"
