Stage 2 Revo & Exhaust

[edition_30]

I’m currently running stage 1 revo on my Ed & am considering purchasing a full tbe milltek. Now amd who will be fitting the exhaust have mentioned that i will need to upgrade my software to stage 2. I’m sure i remember people mentioning on her that when they went stage 2 they needed to upgrade the fuel pump as the standard pump could not cope, is this case?

No that is only Stage 2+.

Stage 2 only request 110bar fuel pressure and the OEM pump can cope up till 115bar.

Stage 2+ requests 130bar which is why you need the pump upgrade.

EDIT: just realised you have a K04 ED30 so what i have just said may not be true. It is for K03s cars and i'm pretty sure it is for K04 but someone with a K04 may be able to clarify better.

You may get a CEL if you run the tbe with stage 1.
Stage 2 is mapped to not give the cel and maximise the extra performance of the tbe. You only need the uprated hpfp for stage 2+.

all the above is correct.

Bear in mind though that you dont need the full TBE to go stage 2.  you could just get the downpipe, saving yourself £500.  that way you can put your saved money towards a fuel pump and stage 2+ instead.

However keep in mind that even on stage 1 theres big gains with an uprated hpfp. Stage 2 with REVO often requires quite conservative settings to avoid fuel cuts without an uprated HPFP.

This is what i am worried about, do you think the revo dealer would bear this in mind when mapping stage 2 & set thecorrect settings to avoid the fuel cuts?

Id like to think so.  They wouldnt have such a good reputation if they didnt.
