you should be @stage 1 mate with no issues.   Who are you getting mapped with.  you shouldnt even have issues at stage 2 with fuel cut if the tuners sets up the map right.

apr stg1 is for OE pump. it takes the mid range restrictions into account. so itll be fine.

you would go to other stages if you added a pump to make full use of it  :happy2:
worth checking with apr as well though just to be sure.

^^^ as VrSy said.. :happy2:

yeah its apr stage 1 done by reubens at tuningwerks he did mention popping back to have it adjusted if i had a decat or highflow cat fitted but nothing about the air intake so think i will get one on order bring on more noise  :happy2:
