Stage 2 is good for it, It will take out the exhaust light that may come up and also writes out the second sensor on the cat/decat

What software are you using?

When I have discussed stage 2 with JKM, I was told that they load a slightly 'watered down' Revo Stage 2 to K03 cars to avoid fuel cuts.

In their opinion, the standard fuel pump can't handle Stage 2, and suggest the use of an uprated HPFP for best results.

a few members of VAGOC are of the opinion that Stage 2 is just an exhaust light delete and doesn't actually give any noticable power increase (tho to be fair most of them are S3/TT-S owners)

tbh mate i'd jump straight to Stage 2+. i'm jumping straight to Stage 2+ from a standard map once i get a chance to get my car off the road lol

the 2+ map adds power mid range and gets rid of a small flat spot i believe.

I recommend getting the fuel pump as a stage 2 map is pushing the pump afaik

I have heard a few VAG specialists state that a HPFP is not needed on a KO3 engine for a Stage 2, only Stage 2 +....

But did you not advocate getting a HPFP for Stage 2 in an earlier reply??

yeah  :smiley:

but i didnt say it was needed, i just said id do it because imo a stage 2 map is pushing the pump, to avoid fuel cuts and to give a bit of head room id do it  :party:
