What’s your definition of “Stage 2”?

In the US, our tuners that use Cobb software (Dizzy, Stratified, Tune+, etc) here basically say the only vital thing actually required for a “stage 2” tune is an intercooler, and maybe regapped spark plugs.

Everything else is nice to haves, quality of life (like RMM), or candy with a little more “oomph” Where stage 2 is defined as “intercooler and whatever else you want, or nothing but with stock turbo and stock fuel.

What you have on the car is fine for Stage 1, add an intercooler for Stage 2, everything else optional.

Basically some other stuff is good to have and may squeak out a little extra power (intakes, crossover, etc etc) but there’s nothing else that’s actually required to run the tune safely. The 1.6 Ecoboost can basically adapt to anything else.
