3" Downpipe Need a Stage 2 Map?

[GTI-Ross]

Hey up guys,

I currently running a stage 1 map on my MK6 GTI, seen a Full Turbo Back exhaust but its 3" with a 100 cell cat, will it need a stage 2 straight away or will it be fine on stage 1 for a while?

I really dont want to lose to much low end revs....

Experienced opinions welcome, Thanks

i ran for a few weeks with Stage 1+ APR tune with a 3" downpipe no problems at all

i didn't get the stage 2+ tune because clutch was slipping like mad

you went to normal stage 2 though yeah?

[AndrewJB]

No stayed on Stage1+ (Stage1 with the HPFP file)

i skipped Stage2 and went straight to Stage2+

had the emissions light on for a few weeks then had the Stage2+ file flashed with the test pipes file

What sort of power will the stock clutch take before it slips?

[AndrewJB]

Mine slipped at Stage1+

You talking TSI or FSI though?

2.0 TFSI (Log book says TSI but its the TFSI)
