Stage 2, your intakes

[liver]

I've currently got Stage 1 bluefin and I'm looking at going stage 2 on my car, i have a 3" milltek non res cat back and im getting a 3" sports cat made too to suite

the only other thing required for stage too is an uprated intake, i currently have a carbonio with pipercross panel filter,

will this be suffice for stage 2 or will i have to upgrade this also to move up?

any info would be appreciated and i would like to know what stage 2 people are running intake wise

you can use your carbonio but wont see much gains. i would get a proper CAI if i was you tbut you may need a HPFP as you can occasionally get fuel cuts with full turbo back and intake. the slippery slope! 

as covered many times before best intakes generally speaking.. ITG Maxogen, Evoms & Forge Twintake, there are other cheaper ones that some people rate, personally i love my ITG, sounds good and has proven the highest gains

actually its all said 2 threads down! have a go on the search function dude

cheers for the info

i was more specific rather than just intakes was wanting to know if i could use the carbonio really for stage 2

thought it was stage 2+ when the fuel pump was needed etc

cheers for the info

YOU DO NOT NEED AN INTAKE FOR STAGE 2 OR STAGE 2+.  The only thing required is a performance downpipe for stage 2, (stage 2+ is the downpipe and HPFP, everything else is a nice to have for more gains)
The stock intake will be fine. the carbonio ever so slightly better.

 You will run slightly less peak power as a result if you keep your carbonio as they are about as much use as a chocolate fireguard.  With an good air intake you could maybe add 10-15Hp to your stage 2.

Reference the HPFP, with REVO i would agree @ stage 2 sometimes its needed.  Bluefin is much more conservative and doesnt request the fuel pressure as much as REVO.

FWIW my stage 1 was good, i found the stage 2 was really poor(very on/off with its delivery) with a huge drop in power of about 35hp at 5krpm.  When i fitted stage 2+ it solved all the issues.  (all ill say is dont expect to make huge figures with the bluefin, its not in the same league as the others, however it is a lot cheaper and more conserved, so better for longevity, so they are all reasons to stay i guess)

Any Qs mate, just ask.  I had it @ stage 1, 2, 2+ and then swapped to another tuner where i went from stage 2+, 2, 1 then back to stock before selling.  So i have a good base for comparison.

I have the Neuspeed P-Flo on mine.  Waiting to fit downpipe then get it mapped.  Cambelt kit is going on first tho as it hasnt been changed yet June 06 car 55k miles!!

I'm running Revo Stage 2+ on my car (Hurdy's old ED30) and I use an ITG Maxogen filter.

Car made just over 370 bhp on conservative rollers (so should make the usual 380 ish elsewhere I guess) of which I dunno how much can be attributed to the ITG.

Before the Stage 2+, the car made 330 bhp with only the ITG and a Stage 1 Revo map (optimized using SPS+) which I thought was stronger than I could have hoped for!

hurdy when he had it made about 350hp on conservative rollers, and about 370hp on generous rollers.  which rollers were these?
