Our software revisions have been tested on all variants of the 2.0TFSI K04 engined vehicles, the graphs were from an ED30.
We recommend using an up-rated FMIC in order to use full boost potential and not see excessive heatsoak, regardless heatsoak is always more prominent on a rolling road.
A HPFP upgrade has never been a requirement for Stage2 software. Revo adjustability is designed to allow the vehicle to be setup to maximise the potential of your car in the given conditions, fuel quality and for the hardware modifications and incorrectly setup car is never going to be 100%.
As per the original post new Stage2 software is designed around the limitations of the standard HPFP.
You can reliably run Stage2+ without an intercooler upgrade, however it is advised to run lower boost settings to prevent excessive heatsoak.
Dyno's are indicative at best, there are numerous factors that effect a power curve. Loading of a car can affect the initial power/torque curves. Stage2 software doesn't make anymore torque at peak than stage1, the torque curve is different due to HPFP limitations. Most breathing modifications 'move' torque up/down the rev range, without an intake or turbo back exhaust upgrade the midrange and top-end would be massively limited. To give you an idea on these cars an intake can allow for around 0.4bar more over approx. 5krpm to redline if the car is setup correctly.
