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

Well it's the same part so it's not an upgrade.

Yes i did it in stages. The desire to want more power overtook the cost implications. The THS cooler was a great addition and you can really notice the difference on a hot day as there is no heat soak and no let off in power. Wasnt cheap though at £600 and not a requirement tf stage 2+ although some will say it is. Loads of people run a standard cooler with slightly lower timing settings to allow for movement and prevent damage. HPFP i bought on a group buy which go quick frequently for £260 if i remember right. Downpipe and decat was an ebay job and was only £200. So really ive not busted the bank until i bought the FMIC and engine mounts from THS, which is more a want than a requirement.  :happy2: :drinking:

Oh Apart fromt he ITG induction which wasnt cheap at all but sounds amazing so i dont mind spending £375 lol

This is all i could get as off out so could set the video up just my phone but give you an idea of how it sounds. What you cant hear is the occasional pop as your slowing down but only went your driving hard  :happy2:

Urm tbh i cant give actual figures. I guess stage one with my ITG i was running about 240-250. then stage two was more about the feel. Pulls hard throught the rev range instead of dying off. Stage 2+ is where i felt a difference. With the rs4 fuel pressure regulator and the HPFP and intercooler with all the settings tweeked and turned up, it felt like a different car. possessed lol and now its 280bhp and thats was on jkms rollers which are great rollers, if a little on the light side.  :driver:

I've been told stage 2 can hit 260/270!!

I want to add a decat now, you've made me want to do it lol! I've found these two, any thoughtS?

Would they bolt straight in?

How much did you say the FMIC, HPFP set you back, and is it worth it? :P It sounds like it is haha!

yeh they bolt staight in as you can see on both of the exhaust the end reduces in size to mate to your standard cat back system so easy to fit. Just b carefull on the turbo side as they get very hot and over the years almost welds themselves on. I snapped one off and had to drill it out which was not very fun believe me  :signLOL:. The fmic i got was a THS as they are in my opinion the best out there for the money and i paid £550 with a bit of discount as the garage i use know olly from THS and the the HPFP internals were £260-280 cnt quite remember and fit myself.  :drinking:

Oh and definately worth it. Having a play with my mate in his e46 m3 and him waving his little finger at me thinking he would destroy me, to then have me along side him and him unable to move away was worth it on its own  :signLOL:

Yeh no rush now as the summer is over and temperatures wont really affect the cars performance. Just remember the car wont pass an MOT with a decat, but i change m ine back each yr as i love the sound too much to have a sports cat and there sooooo expensive.
