If you have the blue (Bosch) TMAP sensors, you have the Stage 1 upgrade. If you find that you have the blue Bosch sensors, you may be experiencing bad dealer splice connections OR damaged wiring down at the lower TMAP where it can hit the air conditionner compressor when it boosts high and the engine moves in its mounts from the torque. The attached photo shows where the upper TMAP is located, so if yours is the color blue and says Bosch, the vehicle had the Stage 1 installed. Also attached is a photo of an incorrectly installed lower TMAP sensor, but you can just make out the blue label on the upper surface and you can see how close the wiring harnes is to the A/C compressor. The orange car on the left does not have the stage 1 (sensor is black), the photo on the right is from a different car which does (sensor label is blue) and the Tech did not remove the small piece of the sensor (which the instructions clearly said to do) which caused the sensor to ride up on the anti-rotation bar cast into the air charge pipe. Also, if the dealer runs your VIN it will tell them that the ECM has been upgraded so that you always get the right SW on a reflash if needed.
