[pd9264]

im currently fitting a k04 conversion to my car. i also have an itg, hpfp, decat, twintercooler. can i run a revo stage 3 map with just a decat and not a full turbo back exhaust system. thanks

Yes...

lovely because i just spent all my money on a k04 and cant afford a milltek yet. lol

Are you running a 3" downpipe?

Look at the bcs exhaust systems over the milltek.  Imo they are the best made and best fitting exhausts out there at the moment.

i just spoke to revo and they said that i definatly need full turbo back exhaust to run stage 3.

....I think that when bacillus posted "Yes..." he meant you could run a decat and not a full turbo-back exhaust but the point is that it wouldn't fully exploit what the remap offers.

The cat back section only gives you about 2bhp IIRC so not a lot of bang for buck 
The cat back section more about sound and appearance, whereas the downpipe & cat section is about performance

downpipe & cat section is about performance

that makes sense. i dnt think the lady at revo knew what she was on about. she was adament that i needed a full turbo back to go to stage 3.

Trust me, Mandy knows her stuff.  You can however get away with just running a 3" downpipe and sport cat/decat with the stock exhaust system.  You will get better figures with a full turbo back.
