Guys who only think the stage kit is a 30HP gain are missing some very big things for the auto trans cars..
you gain new shift points and no lift shifting!
You gain new more aggresive throttle response
You gain more boost and for the 03+ bigger injectors = more fuel
04+ You already have the injectors.
But you don't realize how huge a difference the S1 makes in the Auto cars. Makes them much more aggressive and responsive..
Stop looking at just the HP# its not the entire story!!!!!!!!!!
And I drive a 5-speed and know this??? Come on guys do your research please.
but in general yes the Mopar BOV is just a noise maker, we have a stock surge valve which lets off the boost when you let off the gas so the turbo can keep spooling if it needs to keep spoolin'..
