So guys, what change are you finding with the stage 2 in place? Is there a massive change? Better spread of power? Change in your MPG?
Is anyone having problems with fueling on the stage 2?

Iain

On the K03 if you wind the boost up then yeah you may experience fuel cuts when loading the car e.g. going up a hill in a high gear/or high gear acceleration on the motorway. What intake do you have? This will have a big influence on whether you get any fuel cuts.

The stage 2 on mine made a massive difference, wheel spin was cut considerably as the delivery seemed a whole lot smoother, and it just keeps pulling all the way to change up.  :happy2:
When i went stage one and first got chance to press the loud pedal, i would give the improvement and thrill factor a 9 out of ten.  :smiley:
When i then went stage 2 i would give it a 8 out of 10 for both again.  :jumpmove:
Maybe it was just me but it was the best £50 quid i have spent on it so far.

WhiteGTI, i am running a carbonio induction kit (Hurdies old one). I take it if its evoms etc you would be more likely to get fuel cut due to the large amount of air intake?

Ahh ok, I too have the Carbonio. Correct, as you say...with the Carbonio you can wind the boost up a little bit more because it isn't allowing as much air in as an EVOMS etc, however I was advised by Keith at JKM that even with the Carbonio if you put the boost past 7 then it may cause cuts.

E.g. on my car when the boost is set to 7, the requested fuel is very close to the max that the stock pump can provide ( i forget the actual number), so surely if i set my boost on 8, then I will experience some problems. But every car reacts differently to it, so its best just to datalog it via VCDS to see how your car performs.

But you're on an Ed30 with Bluefin, James - Iain is on a GTI with Revo (like mine).

I've had no problems with either Revo1 or Revo2 which have needed an aftermarket HPFP. I've specifically asked JKM to keep an eye on such things whenever they dyno my car (regularly done as diagnosis of health).

i changed a month or so ago to the revo 2+, just after I had the giac dsg map done as the bluefin map did not remove the soft limiter so it did not make full use of the dsg map. I asked SC to see if they could help but no, so changed.

 :happy2: very happy mate

difference betwen the SC 2+ map I had on  and the Revo 2+ is astonishing, it was like going from stock to remap all over again!

imo when you haven't compared the SC to another map you think its good, but after about an hour after driving out of AMD Tek in Woking (great service from Simon there!), I had the biggest smile on my face  :jumping:

the power now is just savage, boost comes on earlier and just keeps on going right up to 7krpm, according to the defi gauge its spikes at 27psi and holds around 23psi that is with Boost on 8, yet to try 9...  :party:

should have listended to TT a year ago!

Definitely increases the risk/likelihood of cuts - let me know when you want some logging done  :happy2:
