To 2... or not to 2.. that is the question!

[Hedge]

Full res Milltek doesn't drone. 

[Saintsteve]

Current situation...  311bhp.. and ~310lbfts.

Now.... to go stage 2 would cost ~£650. Ive read that stage 2 is a bit "meh" so is it worth it or not?


Rich

Are you sure it costs that much!  


Your mad not to consider what Niki might offer you.

Whether it makes or doesn't make 20bhp over Revo, and nobody can dispute it, is that niki's TIV setup will be a much faster car on the road then any Revo tuned car at the same stage. Figures mean nothing unless your car can put that amount of power down without other aids.

Whether you choose to except my opinion makes no difference to me, but you really should do it and at least ask Niki what he could offer you.

Yes it would be about that Steve...  525 for DP 200cell.. and map.

Keep your eye out for a 2nd hand down pipe if cost is the issue. I payed £200 for my milltek DP

[rich83]

Did it break? 

[Saintsteve]

Did it break? 

No, JKM and Milltek Customer services made it 100% .40k later and it's still faultless 

[xjay1337]

Get Niki to TIV map your car... 15-20bhp extra midrange over that Revo map you have..

No it wont...   but thanks!! 

 

[MC71]

You have some very decent numbers with your REVO Stage 1 map. IMHO (and with what little you'll gain) unless your adding a better pump and cooler, after the new downpipe, I'd stay where you are.

[GrayMK5GTI]

There are plenty of decent exhaust manufacturers that could make a decent DP for a few hundred £'s.

You know what Niki  can do with your engine, but I'm guessing Revo 1 -2 is about £50?

[rich83]

... REVO stage 1-2 is 60 quid

[GrayMK5GTI]

... REVO stage 1-2 is 60 quid

Ah not far off. Makes sense to stick with them then 

[bigeyd]

Stay where you are whilst saving for the hardware for 2+ Rich

[berg]

you are keepinmg your car long term. 

you dont want to sell it on in 5-10 years time not having known what stg2+ was like.

if after doing 20,000 miles you regret it and feel that you cant use it then just put the car back to stg1 and sell on the hpfp,intercooler,cai,tbe and if you have added anything like lsd, suspension, brakes then they will still be handy at stg 1 

my dilemma has been somewhat different to yours - stay at stg 2+ or go Loba but my issue if whether i will be able to keep the Eddie as long as you plan to with family expanding have to look at estate options   

[rich83]

Yeah Ill be keeping her for as long as I can. Ive driven two stage 2+ ED30s... very fast!
