It appears that the Stage 0 is more of a DIY install. But the Stage 1 has for the most part been left up to ZPI to install. There are plenty of Dyno's and videos on this site. You should come up with some hits from the search engine.

I myself would not attempt to install it. As I don't feel THAT technically inclined to do so. The difference in the Stage 0 and Stage 1 is FMI, E-manage, Injectors, and I believe that may be it. I might have left one or two more things out. So, therefore, you would need to route your piping (possibly weld it), program your E-manage, and install new injectors. I don't know to many people on this thread that's going to have the tools to accomplish these task. As the E-manage is probably going to most likely be tuned while on a dyno.

The piping should be a bolt on task just like with the stage 0 and the emange is supposed to come pre-programmed. Obviously a custom tune is advised on each individual car for maximum performance. If you can wire in a new stereo, you can do this.

Oh yeah, forgot about that stuff. If you can install a Stage 0, you should be able to install a Stage 1.

Hardest parts would be wiring the injectors, wiring in the Emanage, mounting the FMIC, and building support brackets for everything if you wanted to. I redid the setup on mine so pm me if you have any questions.

Should be fine. Did the same type of install on my IS300 - not hard, just takes a little time.

What did you re-do, I'd be interested to hear what you did as I've made some changes to my install as well.
