no ideas what mods you have but if you have all the hardware then you might as well.

In two minds whether to go Stage 2+, or just stay stage 2 and get the settings adjusted to suit the hardware set up...?

What's better, any advice?

I would go stage 2 plus . Take the engine to its peak preformance on standard internals etc then all that is left is handiling mods (if wanted) and servicing you will be a happy bunny  :happy2:

....The temptation for more power is always very tempting and those who have Stage 2+ and are happy with it will doubtless encourage you.

Perhaps the most important considerations are that:

- Power is useless without traction. Time for a LSD to add to your handling package?

- The more you push the performance envelope, the more risk of unreliability or future problems. But I'm not saying that Stage 2+ isn't safe.

Ask advice from Jim @ JKM?

....As you know, you've already got all the ingredients to run 2+ but my advice remains the same.

Do you have the brakes, Dom?

Are you down on the 20th then Red?

Yeah have the scirocco R set up which are brilliant!

Have asked JKM whats best, upload the latest stage 2+ map and set up, or upload the latest stage 2 map and set up, maybe gaining some more from higher boost/timing settings...

I wanna be running reliably the best set up for the hardware, then I can concentrate on suspension next year...

....I think you missed reading the '?' (now in bold) when I suggested that Dom might consider also asking advice from Jim @ JKM. I think that JKM know Dom's car and their knowledge and expertise is such that it may be helpful to ask. I certainly have asked JKM about some mods before doing them - I value their opinions more than I do from most individuals on a car forum.

And wow, so glad i Listened to JKM... Stage 2+ rules!

Jim at JKM set the Revo Stage 2+ map up a treat, settings B8T5F8 and it's holding 1.4bar all the way to redline at 70% duty cycle... Unfortunately no power graph as I was too tight... so will have to wait to the next RR day...

Here's to 2013 and suspension mods...  :signLOL:
