Default Tuning Stages

For those who aren't familiar with what the different Tuning Stages are, these are taken from the B5 S4 and could be carried over to the 2.0T as well.

The recognized AW levels are:
1 - chip
2 - chip, exhaust
2+ - chip, exhaust, dp's (test pipe)
3 - chip, exhaust, dp's (test pipe), KO4 turbos

Any others to add?

Default Actually we have stage 3- and full stage 3

3- is chip, exhaust, dp's and K04s, stock fuel delivery. Full stage 3 adds a fuel kit. (APR, GIAC, homebrew, etc)

It's really confusing! :-) And I really want a ride in your car BTW!

Test pipe would take the place of downpipes in an S4.
