Stage 2 Question

[DJM]

Just after some info really. Originally was only going to go stage 1 but managed to pick up a cold air induction and was just wondering if its just downpipe and decat left to go stage 2? Or would a cat back system or intercooler be required?

Also what sort of power would it sit at? 260ish? Is a Gti 2006, ko3.

you will need a downpipe/sports cat(200cell) to get to stage 2.

no need for catback or induction.

260ish yes

Is there any issues with getting downpipe and decat instead? I know on the 1.8t engines people used to have alsorts of issues. I ran sports cat on my old ibiza but thought people have ran decats on the 2.0t without issues, obviously once mapped out.

i run a downpipe and decat on mine and have no issues what so ever apart from my mot is due tomorow and every year i will have to go through the agro of changing it back for it. other than that theres no issues and slightly increased performance over a sports cat

Cheers for the info guys. Yours seems good spec John. You do it in stages or all at once? the intercooler make much difference? any pics and price?

[DJM]

also hpfp? that fuel pump? is this required?

for stage 2+ yes.

if im honest id do what i did, downpipe/intake/hpfp then stage 2+

Then worry about getting intercooler and what not later on.

[DJM]

how much is hfpf? where do i get it from? This a VW revision like the PCV and diverter valve or aftermarket?

Cheers for help

You have

APR afaik £600+

autotech which are 300ish


the apr is a whole new fuel pump which is tested and upgraded

the autotech is just internals which your installer will have to fit (i did it myself)

They sometimes sell on here, or at awesome gti, PDT usually has some

[DJM]

ouch, not a cheap mod but generally needed for stage 2? or just stage 2 plus to go over 260?
You unable to use ones of the edition 30? presume they have uprated one.

Same pump for all mk5 GTI I think

howcome they remap to more than what stage 2+ would be on a normal ko3 gti then? :s

they have hardware differences other than the hpfp.

You dont need it for stage 2 but theres a massive dip in power mid range compared to 2+ that i just didnt want.

So the edition 30 hfpf is no good to use on normal Gti
