Am considering the above with longetivity and reliability in mind. Stg 2+ is awesome but as a few wise old sages have said it is bordering on being a step too far if you want to run the car to high mileage. I may keep the Eddie for another 5 years at this rate.
if i do step back cant decide which of these options makes the most sense
1,) alter map and put milder settings than 9/6//6 on (along the lines of Robin's settings boost 7....) and leave the HPFP on because it will still be of some benefit of Stg 2?
2.) alter map, ditch the HPFP and possibly the CAI and run engine cover with performance panel filter, tbe and s3 intercooler. does anyone know if the HPFP comes off can you leave the RS4 valve in cause is PITA to change? If the HPFP comes off and the F setting goes leaner can I still potentially run high timing (Currently 6) if the Twintercooler stays on the car?
If i go for option 2 what would be the likely range of power/torque drop bearing in mind currently running 361bhp and 348lb ft in percentage terms?
Thanks in advance for thoughts/opinions
