In defence of my 38mpg motorway figure I got this figure on the 150 mile trip home from getting the stage 3. Which was not a really slow trip averaging 80mph with some faster bits :evilgrin:
My stage 2 map before this was much worse and only averaged 34mpg on the same run, it was running a bit rich though. Like I say A and B roads I average 31mpg lol.

his stage 3 is the same level of tune as a REVO stage 2+ map.  it depends on what tuner it is as to what they call it.  for instance REVO stage 3 on the k03 TFSI requires new injectors, turbo etc etc.

yet shark performance and DNA etc call the HPFP tweaked map a stage 3. and for the turbo upgrades they call it stage 4.

iirc he has a decat downpipe, BSH intake (think he might have removed it) and autotech HPFP internals.  

normal figures allowing for dyno lottery etc are stage 1 240hp-, stage 2 260Hp, stage 2+(stage 3) 270-280hp.  Obvioulsy some dynos will easily read huge amounts more but make of that what you want.

have a read through this post.  http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,16977.0.html

if you after going straight to stage 2 or 2+ all you need is a downpipe with sports cat or decat, and an uprated HPFP.  ideally though you would want an intake and intercooler as well to make the most of the map

I've got no idea on the bhp front yet, I have my name on the reserves at the May Rs tuning RR day so will see then.
Like sy says just a 3" decat and hpfp but I have a BSH intake for the RR day lol.
