What about a Shark remap with an STS unit if you want to be able to switch or update the map in the future?

Remap is £399 and STS is £150, with forum discount its £509 all in.

I double checked for Typo's :wink:

Shame on you Subegh :P

Like Matt said stage 2 map job done :happy2:

I would wait till you have all the hardware before going stage 2+ thats what its designed for, to take advantage of the extra hardware, so not having the hardware and having stage 2+ is pretty pointless really, your not gonna gain anything over stage 2.

The standard intake is very restrictive and so is the standard fuel pump that is a fact, so yes in my eyes they are both definatly required for stage 2+.

Intercooler is the one thing you could "get away" with but i would still recommend one really.

I had a stage 2+ map on my car with an intake and the OE downpipe with no pre cat and it made 252bhp.  I have now switched back to the OE engine cover as they are good for about 275 -280 bhp with a good panel filter according to R Tech on the K03. I now have the Autotech HPFP fitted (purchased from W8 Performance) and the BCS turbo back exhaust plus RS4 valve and my car flies. I cant quote any figures as yet because I havent been back to Shark for a dyno run.  But def go with the remap and from experience, Shark is the way to go either direct or from one of the fine comapanies who also sell Shark products, such as W8 Performance :happy2:

If you go stage 2+ mate you will absolutely sh!t your pants with how quickly they accelerate, but be aware, going along quickly means stopping will take longer, if you have standard brakes, :happy2: even on mapped gti , imho they are w4nk. So, throwing near on 330-340hp at the standard stoppers will be pretty grim. Then there is also your clutch to consider and engine mounts. Personally if i had an ed30 i would stage 1 it with an exhaust and leave it at that. There plenty quick enough. But thats just my opinion. :happy2:

I know, its an expensive filter but really the only enclosed option for the Octy.  I think I will stay with the OE engine cover, as nice as the ITGs are I dont think I could live with the extra intake noise again.

Just caught up so thanks for all the comments its appreciated, so map it is  :smiley: Shark is a bit too far but r-tech is well worth considering, I will have a look. I also have a pipercross filter installed so with the TBE is that all I need for stage 2 bluefin? I notice someone reported they provide a lower torque stage 2 map to help get the power down in the lower gears - any good and what power do they realistically get? I'm not after the fastest car on the planet just interested in keeping balance and some grip! Cheers fellas.  :happy2:

PS. Its lowered with eng mount and superpro walk style bushes to help with the power upgrade.
