GIAC versus Revo Stage 2+

[Poverty]

I know, i just haven't decided on a manu for the exhaust.
i was going to just buy the milltek downpipe and fit that to the oem rear box would that be ok or do i need to get the rear box to as finances aren't fluid at the moment  

Know what you mean mate, the milly aint cheap. From what I have been told is that you cant mate a milly downpipe to the standard back box for some reason.

However me and my mate are working on a solution, dont fancy paying a grand for the milly, and tbh I dont really want a milly as everyone has one and I find that boring. What mine sounding more unique.

1 of the lads with an S3 has done this, Milltek downpipe standard rear section

EGT, now that rings a bell. l was talking with my brother and told him the probs l was seeing and he mentioned this. Anyone care to elaborate?

Exhaust gas temperature, as it says really. I think there were some worries if a free flowing exhaust system wasn't used the EGT's would be too high.
There is also a a guy with an S3 running the stg2+ Revo code with a HPFP, butstd downpipe, exhaust and intake with no issues. The chances are he wouldn't be able to run as aggressive settings as someone who has the hardware but apparantly the car runs fine

To utilise the hpfp stage 2 plus is reqd, but as said the settings will be low across the board due to the standard exhaust system. Although iirc a GIAC powered car was running stage 2 plus with a std ehaust and that also ran fine, but wasnt running consevative settings. That car fried the cat in no time.

That car fried the cat in no time, worrying stuff that. As l might be the first S3 in the UK to get this map l reckon l should be getting some free rr.

lve had a few engine management light issues this past week and had to take the battery lead you to get rid of it. l had my car at Star, still there, and Jim said he would have prefered to see the car with the light on. He was on holiday and l wasnt happy with the light on. Anyways, l told Jim the story about the light and the car losing power between 2000-3000rpm. He mention coil packs, l said fair enough as they are cheap enough. He plugged in his computer and didnt find anything. He took it for a drive, l sat and waited. He came back and said its showing a fueling error. He says its been noticed on cars in the states but he didnt know what to do about it. l left the car with him. l didnt hear from him the rest of the day, worrying stuff. lve had a look about and cant really see much that covers it specifically.

What sort of fuelling error? Got a more specific code?

[dc240969]

never gave me a code just said fueling lean off throttle

Didnt hear anything from Star this morning and had to take the girl to Stirling Uni. On the way back l popped in. Jim says' l didnt think you wanted the car back!' , l told him what l had been up to. ' So, l said, whats up' Long story short. The extreme map basically put everything out of kilter, so to speak. Its gone and the 'Star' Hammer map is back on. The car feels fine now, better l feel, in the short play lve had in it. One thing that was missing when using all 3 maps was the snort and chortle of the Forge CAI. The pop from the exhaust during gear change has gone as well. Jim says the Extreme map fueling isnt right. So job done. l can breath easier now, feel like a weights been lifted.

Good news!

Just out of interest. Any of you boys running stage 2/+ Revo are invited to have a free Rolling Road spin at Star.

This would be interesting to see what actual power figures come from revo 2+
