Yes that's correct

Then your looking at HPFP and front mount

Stage 2 with Revo or APR is intake and full TBE system (inc downpipe). HPFP is 2+.

I've done a decent bit of logging with revo stage 2 and haven't seen a situation where logged actual rail pressure was below specified pressure.

Personally if I was going for an upgraded HPFP I'd also go for the RS4 FPV, but then for 2+ I'd be thinking about proper balance improvements e.g. ARB's, mounts, Bilstein B16's, Quaife/Peloquin/Wavetrac LSD etc. Stage 2+ also raises the question of stock PCV, PCV "fix" or proper catch can setup.
Going 2+ for me would be a £5-£6k spend over and above 2 which IMHO isn't really worth it on a FWD hatch when I'd have ended up spending 24 month old C63 AMG, M3 or RS5 money to get there.

in stage 2 you always get a nice power delivery which is not as boosty as stage 1

You mean the power delivery is more linear and progressive with meaningful gains earlier.. rather than all top end?

totally agree bOrk, my Ed35 is Stage 2 but running mounts, B16s, ARBs and XDS can handle it, i've also improved the stock rubber, given my mods planned it was the main reason i didnt go rocco r (chassis is better balanced on the GTI) or golf r as was knocking on 1M, M3 etc money

i found with Stage 1 maps and some more powerful cars you get a slug of mid range boost which for me is not as progressive how the Stage 2 feels, also a linear throttle map makes the would of difference in drivability

if you want to make your car quicker sort the handling

I promised i will be back with dyno results!
GIAC Stage 1:



The results for stage 2+ comes later because i have problem with fuel cuts

Torque is a bit low isn't it? 350Nm = 250 lb/ft ??

Hmm.. What should i be with stage 1?
Calculated to crank numbers this would be something like 400nm?
