Stage1 vs stage2
« on: April 17, 2011, 05:25:56 pm »
After having a stage 1 remap for a while iv been thinking of upgrading to stage to. I know you need some hardware to be able to have stg 2 ie TBE but I want to know if it's worth doing.

Can anyone explain the main differences between 1 and 2.

Does the car feel much quicker.

i wouldnt say at stage 2 that the car feels that much faster but it is alot smoother and easier to put the power down. i found the jump from stage 2 to stage 2+ a bigger increase in performance. i Would recommend going to stage 2 though as it is a little faster and more enjoyable to drive.
Stage 2+ 280.4 bhp ITG, Revo Stage 2+, decat, hpfp, THS intercooler, THS engine mounts, Pcv revamp, sportline springs, rs4 fuel valve, DS2500 pads and brembo discs, braided lines, ATE super blue brake fluid and more to come

It does feel quite a bit quicker IMO, but that's mainly down to the quicker spool up from the turbo due to the DP..  Definately worth doing..  :happy2:

you dont need any extra hardware for stage 2.  the ONLY required bit of kit is the downpipe. 

The intake will give gains on top but  can be fitted with no map tweaks, and the cat back will only give you noise
