Aiden,

By the way I'm not saying what I have in Reply #4 just because you are buying my Carbonio - My opinion/advice would be the same either way.

If you really want to go straight to Stage2 etc, I will cancel our agreed sale but I must ask you to confirm any cancellation by midnight tonight.

I don't want to muck up your plans. I can't be fairer than that.  :smiley:

EDIT: Just seen your Reply #5  :happy2:

aidogti:
ah no worries robin, i still want the carbonio, to be honest i didn realise the dp was only really useful with stage 2, im sure stage 1 will be enough for me... i had a couple of gti's before and then went down the wrx road, to be honest loved the power (300+bhp) and the awd but just found myself wanting to get back into a gti, maybe is the better build quality not sure, but im sure the comfort of my gti and smooth dsg with 250 bhp will keep me well happy :smiley:  :smiley:

looking forward to fitting the intake....

....Indeed it will. Power is no good without traction and too many neddies can interfere with driveability. A nicely balanced car is preferable imo.

DSG is the best of both worlds. When away from urban areas and traffic jams, I use M-mode and shift gear exactly when I do if driving a conventional manual. The DSG offers a big variety of optional combinations and so can take quite a few miles before it becomes fluid and natural - Don't be afraid to explore all its possibilities.

I agree with Sy. Better to go Stage1 first for a couple of reasons: One so you can experience the differences and feel what suits you; Two not to hit your new car with too much at once and establish all is well with Stage1.

You don't have to change from a Carbonio when Stage2 (I didn't) but spending nearly £300 on a high-flow tubular intake will give greater performance gains, but ONLY if you have other performance mods in place. Beware the slippery slope of modding!

The only reason I changed from the Carbonio to Forge Twintake was to better compliment all my other mods.

If you haven't done modding before (I hadn't) then step by step is a great way to learn and know what does what and also, IF you have problems it's so much easier to identify what's causing them. On the other hand, if you are already experienced, you know what to do and if have funds available can hit it all at once - So, that's £25k for the new car and an instant +£10k for the mods you 'need'.

Are you still happy you joined modders anonymous this forum?  :evilgrin:

Fuel Pump next Robin??. Surely you must be getting close to doing this with the Twintake fitted now?, or have you already done the pump?
