Golf 5 gti , revo stage 2+ or stage 2??
« on: June 22, 2012, 08:04:47 am »
Hi guys. I would need your help. I am not sure what to choose, for my gti, so there is goes.

The car is Golf 5 gti , 2007, 2.0 tfsi, DSG.
The modifications made on car:

-Forge twintake
-forge twincooler
-forge blowoff
-Complete milltek exhaust
-autotech hpfp
that would be it, from engine mods.

So , what do u think. REVO stage 2 or REVO stage 2+ . And DSG stage 1???

Thanks

you have the hardware for 2+, so unless you have a reason not to goto stage 2+ id do that.

.
Haven't there been some cases of folks here having problems with Stage 2+ and going back to Stage 2?

As I recall, those problems were more to do with driveability and not breakages. But Stage 2+ will surely put more stresses on your engine internals and increase temperatures.

Go Revo stage 2+ then if needed you can turn the power down via the SPS switch to stage2 power.. :smiley:

....That's an interesting idea and certainly Revo's software is invaluable due to being able to adjust, but what sort of reasons would necessitate turning down the 2+ settings? And how would they manifest themselves without logging or dyno?

Why go to 2+ if you then reduce the B/T/F settings?

We do not have revo in Slovenia, but only in Croatia, our neighbours..So i really need second opinion, what to choose. What is the best for my car, for my mods? Really don't want that something goes wrong. DSG stage 1 is needed, yes or no...money is no object...better pay for dsg software update, than broken dsg...

Go for DSG software update anyway.

I am playing devil's advocate when I say this but Stage 2+ will place more stress on your DSG due to increased torque (it's mostly why I have stayed at Stage 2) < Someone please correct me if they think I am wrong.

Wait for some people to post more answers to your questions, valle - No need to rush it. You want as much info as possible to help your decisions.  :happy2:

Yes i can see that. i will postpone my revo upgrades, for a while. So in that time, i must place an order at Forge again ( oil catch can  :party:).

So any information, about stages and modifications will be great, and thanks so far...
