Good figures. :happy2:

Good figures and review! You've got to be happy with those digits, strong motor & decent map combo right there :pomppomp:

Haha, the bug has bitten! The two biggest bottlenecks hardware wise are the downpipe and fuel pump. Sort those and you're looking at an extra 40-50lb/ft at peak and big gains right across the curve with one of Niki's maps.
If you can stretch the budget to include an S3/mk6 R intercooler that'd be ideal. I think the map would still be a 2+ if you stuck with the standard intercooler (the '+' denotes an upgraded pump), but you'd gain consistent power and an improvement in overall flow by upgrading the intercooler. An intake can help flow a little at the top end, but the standard airbox does a good job with a k03, so really you wouldn't be losing out by much if you decided to stay with the standard airbox and Pipercross filter.
Mine is loads nicer to drive at Stage 2. With Stage 1 the drop in torque just after peak was quite noticeable. After fitting the full Powervalve and getting the Stage 2 map I could feel the torque hitting much harder and holding better after peak. I since added a Loba pump (still on the Stage 2 map) and the torque improved again. Really strong and consistent. I could in theory head back down to R-Tech and get the map tweaked to 2+ now I have the pump, but I've decided to get more hardware upgrades in place first, possibly with a k03 hybrid or k04.

Yeah. Considering all the hardware you mentioned but getting a hybrid aswell. I think a hybrid k03 and all the hardware would be alot of fun. F***k it its only money. Having funs what counts!!
