Is it really safe?

As far as i know as long as your timing chain and guide is the updated version you should be good to go. I know multiple people that are or were FBO with BM3 stage 2.

No oil consumption
Timing chain guides updated

You'll be fine. Have been running stage 2 100% fbo with no issues. Fuel pump if it's going out or weak will show with the increase in boost from the tune. That's the extent. It's addicting to say the least.

My mod list:
Active autowerk n55 rear muffler
Removed resonator
eBay downpipe
FTP turbo to intercooler pipe
FTP intercooler to throtttle body (charge pipe) pipe
FTP turbo inlet
ATM intercooler
Turner Motorsport turbo inlet to oem air box pipe
Afe grill ram air scoop
GFB diverter valve upgrade
Fuel It stage 2 fuel pump (dodge hellcat fuel pump [supports 600whp e85 or 675whp pump gas])
Precision raceworks coil pack upgrade
Bootmod3 OTS stage 2 e30 tune

Sweet thanks for the insight.

Since I've been on stage 2
My cel keeps coming on.
I checked to make I have cel options selected on my OTS map.

Don't know why it's still pulling a cat code still.

Any thoughts?

Reflash your tune. At the bottom of the selection when you choose download and flash, there with be an option to Flash and diag. That should do the trick.

If you have a CEL with stage 2 it's not from your cat. BM3 automatically disables CEL checks from the cat on stage 2 regardless of your app settings since 95% of people using stage 2 go with a catless downpipe. If after flashing back to stock and back to stage 2 doesn't clear the CEL open a ticket with PTF and send them your logs.

It worked.

Went to my stock tune. Then back to stage 2.
. No issues.

And my car is fast as hell!


Thanks!

Code came back again.
My o2 sensors are not in the catless downpipe.

Will that cause an issue?

Going stage two seems like a lot of risk for low reward. You're taking the N20 closer to its limit for like 10 more horsepowers. Ppl claim to feel a big difference but do they really? Stage one with a nice exhaust seems to be the sweet spot for this platform.

Which N20 are you talking about? 20i or 28i?

once installed I haven't had an issue. i went with circuit werks, but if I was to do it again today, it would be cts turbo or the arm motorsports one to eliminate the flex part.

Use proven brands with the recommended map, don't use a map that's too aggressive and you'll be fine
