well yea it won't idle like stock thats for sure. but its not really a problem, just a side effect of a different cam profile (for higher rpms).
turboengnr, i know but i just wanted to clarify to him that the turbo one isnt having as many problems.
03 acura el, i couldnt have said it better. tuning is the single most important piece of any puzzle when it comes to performance. and in this case driveability issues also.

Yeah the stage 3 does work but i heard that one does have a weird idle because it is huge. Your car will sound like a beast its also recommend racing use because of the idle. But stage 1 and 2 have the stock idle lobe
tru tru^^^ thanks!!!
i guess im just loomking at it as it i get stage 3 and when i reinstall my turbo i want the most out of it..but im using e-manage not AEM...so idk.stage 2 turbo i guess it is!!!

^^ You will probably need to keep idle at about 1200rpm or so, so car wont die on you.
Stage 3 will have better gains, but stage 5000 will have even more gains

i plan on getting stage 2 crower boost cam when i can afford the EMS. Stage 3 you won;t be able to maintain an idel whatsoever. your die at every stop light. unless you want a loop between 1200 and 2200 rpm. it would sound pretty mean.
