"Stages" are marketing terms. They're not defined. One man's stage 1 is a catback exhaust. Another's is a full turbo system. You sound like you need an OFT. Google it. :)

Not sure if troll but anyway. Ecutek doesn't sell any tunes only software, Ecutek cables and licenses. They only provide these directly to dealers and mastertuners. Mastertuners will sell you a tune, cable and license. The tune may be a base tune that requires more adjustment via a tuning method we call etuning or they can tune live on a dyno if you bring the car to them. They can also provide a off the shelf tune "OTS" which is usually a conservative tune that can be used by most configurations.

Assuming you order the full kit with the cable, there is a process where you go into the software (after installing onto your PC), connect to the data port under the dash below the steering wheel, and pull your car's ECU info to send to the tuner (ft86speedfactory). Tuner sends you back a file to unlock the ECU/software and the base tune. You then flash the base tune onto your ECU and let the car idle until it warms up.

They should then ask for a series of data logs from the software while driving or on a dyno so they can send you a tune tailored to your car.

Make sure you are basically done with intake/exhaust mods before you start up this process because getting an e-tune done is around $300-500, even with the cable already in-hand. I got my car tuned after the header/panel filter and plan to get it updated by the same shop after I put on a full exhaust. Drift-Office did a fantastic job. I'm up around 180whp with just the Rev Works header.
