I've had the stage 1 guys....what's next in line?
« on: August 03, 2013, 09:52:43 pm »
Had the stage 1 map on the car for a little while me and love it!!

Now interested in the next mods to go to the next stage not yet...but in the future!!

Current mods are....pre cat delete, milltek cat back, VWRacing intake and stage 1 map, Eibach springs and VWRacing lower engine mount.

I'm thinking best to finish exhaust with downpipe and sports cat 100 cell or 200 cell first then maybe intercooler?

Or other way around?

Or both then stage 2 map, which is free apparently? Great if so!

What bhp and torque would this bring guys??

I spose clutch upgrade would be needed after that though!

Cheers fellas, I've got the bug from this place!!

 :happy2:

Yeah was worried about the extra weight of R32 ones so might just be disc and pad upgrade I think.

I go with...

Anti lift kit and poly bush front wishbone
Rear Anti Roll Bar

As for brakes, the NQSBBK is a lot lighter than the OEM set up and a lot better too.

Then a decent downpipe with 200 cell Cat Back and a stage 2 map.

Yes was looking into rear roll bar. Think anti lift kit may be a bit much for what I'm using the car for...I don't track it. May be wrong though.

Will look out for a milltek downpipe to finish the system and get stage 2 map. Still no intercooler needed then?.

What power does APR stage 2 get you to roughly?

Cheers guys!

I do chuckle when people worry about the weight of R32 brakes, it isn't like the mk5 is the lightest car to begin with.

NQSBBK stands for "Not Quite So Big Brake Kit". Have a read of this, not all of it, just the first few pages will do.....

APR Stage 2 means a new APR high flow RSC exhaust, APR fuel pump, APR / VWR intake, stage 2+ 3.1 map.
Should see 360+ dependant on car and dyno lottery.

I'm doing suspension KW clubsports then brakes before going Stage 2/3.

Car is running a Stage 1 map by Morego / BBR/ Gti Engineering.....very nice smooth map and would really recommend them too.

I've got the VWRacing intake, just need the milltek downpipe and I'm there apart from fuel pump...is that really needed for stage 2? Or could I just have exhaust done then the stage 2 map?

What power would it make without the pump?

Also no intercooler needed?

I have Eibach springs and lower subframe mount so just want ARB for rear.
