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


once rolling very, very fast but tbh i think if you want to get the most out of one you would need to upgrade the Goodyear Eagle that I know you, and everyone rates highly. They are fine for Stage 2, certainly on a ko3 as RR can attest, but at 2+ on the KO4 you need all the help you can get from the rubber

Definitely stage 1+. 

All the midrange benefit of stage 2+ but with none of the additional noise.  Plus the gaisn from 1+ will be in the everyday rpm bands so you will always notice it.  The exhaust beneifts higher up the rev band.

Any rolling road data for stage 1+? Hoe do you go about setting up the stage 1 Revo ?

just fit a decent cai - itg/revo and you dont need to adjust your settings but will be a lot more aggressive - especially on cold, winter mornings like we are getting you will notice the difference

right, well in that case you are already at 1+ so to go to 1 3/4 you just need a pipewerx/bcs downpipe mated to your oem catback but if you going to pu the downpipe on you may as well pay the £60.00 for the Revo 2 map then see how you like it after 5,000 miles.

if you do then you can add intercooler (THS), hpfp (loba), rs4 fprv, full tbe (depends what part of country you are in as you might not want to drive to have bcs/pipewerx fitted so milltek would probably get your hard earned?)

No idea with two but APR and a few others like RTec have special maps for setup ready to go. I guess with revo you would just adjust the settings but I'd wager it wouldn't be as good as a map so up from the outset for srsge 1+.
AndrwJB ran a stage 1+ stop before going the full hog

Bcs ship exhausts so you don't need to travel up there.

Only APR have an off the shelf 1+ file.  Adding a pump to a Revo file won't make much difference.
