Not so much engines going bang heavyd, more so turbo's blowing , breaking of blades in the turbo, and being blasted into the engine causing failure.

Have you heard of many Tfsi turbo blades breaking off with standard turbos?
I know there is a good chance of turbo seals blowing.  

yeah i have seen a few that the blades have broken apart and gone into the engine and fooked it  :scared: the car have all been 2+ i think

none standard publicised on the forum, only stage 2+ cars have had major mechanical failure from time to time.

How about getting a bluefin stage 3.
That way you are getting more power than revo stage 2, but the figures arent as high, so engine wont be getting stressed as much? just a thought?
Alternatively theres always a custom stage 3 PDT remap, but get him to lower the parameters, or alternatively a shark performance remap, which hits around the 330bhp mark?

all worth considering, i think i should be able to hit 330bhp from revo stg 2 as that would be 10% increase over stg 1.

Your quoting 370 bhp will always be open to interpretation, on some dyno's, 330bhp is shown on a healthy stage 2+ car,and in my view is more realistic.
 
Stage 1 280 approx
Stage 2 300 approx
Stage + 320> on..

Torque is what tends to break things, and stress's components.

stop thinking about POWER its more about how the car drives and handles  :driver: if you want power then your in the wrong car  :rolleye: get something fast out of the box and then fiddle with it  :pomppomp:

Hmm I've done a search but could only find TDs turbos blowing. If anyone knows a thread where the turbo on a tfsi has actually blown the engine too post em up.

i agree hence why am getting arb's, b12, and possibly clutch/lsd before anything else which will give increase in torque/bhp

i think i have decided what to do although the curve ball for me is what Janner Sy said about foing HPFP and induction kit and not bothering about tbe... this seems like a good compromise to improve stage 1 without going balls out butfor now am content to save for diff/clutch after PDT fir arb's/b12 next month

stage 1 with HPFP would definitely be the way forward for me next time.  Anothe rthing i would consider is getting the 'pre cat' removed from the OEM downpipe.  This will reduce the exhaust gas  temperatures.  Will cost absolute pennies (just needs to be taken off and hit with a hammer :grin:), will also give a minor increase in performance id imagine.

this is an example of a stage 1 REVO car with the HPFP and intake, compared to Robins stage 2 REVO with TBE and intake.  Both K03 and of course different cars, but same engine, dyno and operator

stage 1 revo with HPFP and evoms


stage 2 with TBE and twintake (the highest one of Robons i could find)


it looks like the first one drops off faster but if you compare power/torque at the same points in each graph their practically the same.
