At the present time, im very happy with the way the cars going ben.Against Hedges car today i was only around 10bhp down to his stage 2 Bluefin and even ahead on torque(but thats another story).
The issue that jim from jkm had with my car was he struggled to get heat into the tyres as mine was suffering with tyre slipping as for some reason, my vredesteins take a while to get heat into them so it wasnt gripping the rollers as good as it could do.
Now if i go to stage 2, not only will i suffer with huge traction issues, it would then spoil the fact the car wont get the power down the the tarmac, and be pointless unless i get some stickier Rubber on spend stacks on doing other road handling mods which i dont want to do to change the GTi's characteristics.
As Chris found out today driving my car on the specially reserved runway, a full exhaust and stage 1 map, is plenty fast enough.Driveablitly i feel will be lost if i do more on current factory suspention,ride height and most importantly Brakes!!.
Im no where near needing to change my tyres to deal with coping with the extra grunt.The vreddesteins have been a revelation compared to the Dunlops fitted previous.The current traction i get is just enough to get me down the Pod in decent time.
