With water injection activated, 2000m is to high to switch stages, try 600m and 2000m may even be to high without water injection.
In Il-2 you can usually switch charger stages a few 100m early or late without significant disadvantages in power output, and it doesn't matter what stage you use -you will never ever get your engine damaged even if you use stage 3 at tree top level or stage 1 at 10km.
