I've had the stage 1 guys....what's next in line?

[Janner_Sy]

Yeah I'm sure there great...but don't they slow you down?? They weigh a ton!

To be honest mate, slowing you down is the aim of any brake system ........

Too true!!! 

[Scottymon]

They do weigh A LOT, in the region of 22KG each side, adding a massive amount of unsprung weight.  I ran them for a bit.

Can't understand why the 4 pot Cupra R 1.8T brakes weren't used or developed upon in the later R32/S3/Cupra.... cost?

There's no doubting they are better than the standard GTI setup, but that weight and single piston... meh.

[18Edition30]

Yes a little off putting but I'm sure the braking power is of more benefit.

Downpipe and stage 2 it s then. I'm sure APR offer free stage upgrades?

Also no intercooler needed?

Est power output without upgrade pump?

[Gaz]

Interested in this too, as i may fit decat downpipe and get APR to upgrade to stage 2.

Im sure they quote 270bhp.

Then stage 2+ is 280bhp? Cant remember the hardware difference though..

I'm thinking your just GTI mate? Sounds right.

I'm Edition 30 so hoping bit more!

Yeh mate im GTI, going for stage 2 remap today.

As far as i know stage 2 is with standard fuel pump, stage 2+ is with high pressure pump.

You do get free upgrades between map stages with APR- pretty good id say!!

As for intercooler, Ed30s can make 350bhp without upgrading..

I think if you go stage 2+, so with a HPFP and 3" downpipe- you will see around 340bhp. Its mental what power they can achieve and so easily!

Your clutch will cope, for a while, but make that the next thing to save for id say!

Im speaking from my mates experience with his ED30, who is on here and running stage 2+ and the thing is an absolute weapon!

[18Edition30]

That's sounds great if its right.

Would just rather finish the exhaust with the downpipe then get stage 2 map. Hoping for around 315 - 320!

Still havent found out what I'm running at the moment....stage 1 map with VWRacing intake...have to get on the dyno!

Cheers Gaz!

For Stage2 tune you NEED - a 3" downpipe with either 200cel,100cel or De-Cat

You don't need a Cat-Back system, HPFP can be added to achieve Stage2+, You can also add a HPFP to Stage1 to achieve Stage1+ (i ran 1+ for a while)

[18Edition30]

I've already got the miltek cat back, so now looking for a downpipe to complete the system.

What's the difference between 100 and 200 cell? Are the both legal?

And I would love to decat it but aren't they illegal as well?

Cheers

Will

[AndrewJB]

the difference between 100cel and 200cel is 100cel's the lower the number the more free flowing. OEM cat is about 800cel i think

200cel is legal, 100cel is legal but some wont pass emissions test (mine failed) depending on the quality of the cat, De-Cat is illegal.

APR Downpipe is 200cel i think

[Evan@APR]

AJB nailed it :)
