Each manufacturer has their own "staged" progression.

I believe I actually ran across them in a f.a.q. thread a while back. "subtle hint"

Usually a stage 1 is just a reflash

stage 2 would bring in a uppipe and dp, maybe a turbo back exhaust

stage 3 bigger turbo

stage 4 larger intercooler.

do a search for txs stages or something like that. there is a real nice webpage that lists them all (cobb, vishnu, txs). but, mostly Driver is right.

stage 1 - reflash (cobb)
stage 2 - reflash plus uppipe/downpipe (cobb, txs)
stage 3 - stg 2 plus injectors/pump i think (not turbo upgrade) (txs, cobb not out yet)
stage 4 - turbo upgrade plus all other components (txs, cobb stage 2.5)

for vishnu, go to their site. www.vishnutuning.com i think
