No you dont have to do both. If you want Stage 1 get stage 1, if you want stage 2 get stage 2. stage 2 contains everyting stage 1 does PLUS the smaler pulley and belt. You're stealership is full of sh*t

There isn't any stage 2 kits left in stock (for now). I bet what your dealer is trying to get you to do is buy stage 1 then buy the stage 1 to 2 upgrade. That would equal stage 2 and is the ONLY way to get stage 2 at the present time. WAIT and buy a CAI or save for some exhaust instead of buying the "upgrade".

I heard it from a couple of dealers that visit the forums. However, this info could be wrong. It was just an example of why a dealer would be charging too much for something that shouldn't be anywhere NEAR that price.

Stage 2 kit from EVERY GM dealer =$750 or less (+ installation)

Stage 2 kit for starter of thread =$1200 (with installation)

Installation should not come close to $450.

lol, no. the stages include injectors, a smaller supercharger pulley, and a belt, as well as a reflash and all of these items are specific for the 2.0 sc

Kelleyperformence stopped responding to my PMs and the dealership never got back to me after I faxed them all my info so I ordered Stage 1($385+2day air) from Paceperformance.

Just got home from getting my stage 2 kit installed, I'm happy, definitely livened it up. Boosts about 15-16 psi range. Pulls hard, does 70ish (approx) in 2nd gear now. If anyone has any questions about the kit, ask or pm me. oh and the pulley with stage 2 is 77.9mm (3.06")

We can get stage II ( the one that has stage I and II parts in one kit, not stage II kit you buy if you have stage I) for 1000 CDN. that is a good deal up hear. 1264 is the list price.
