Lets talk Stage 2 Edition 35.......WITH PICTURES

[Oli]

Didn't need to mod the 997 or RS4.

....Very true - They're good out of the box. Although I would have put a Milltek on the RS4, but that's just me who likes sound so much - I love the Porsche 'clatter' when on the revs 

Oops forgot about that, I put a Milltek on the RS4 and did the gundo hack in the Porsche........dur

Little update on this;

Full Milltek TBE Race system (resonated) to be ordered tomorrow
Stage 2 re-map shortly afterwards (REVO)
NQSBBK being ordered tomorrow, via DaveB's mate Jonny -  http://www.brakecaliperrefurbs.co.uk/  Going for GTI red - Anyone got any ideas on logos?, Im just thinking on keeping it plain.

Looks like I should start a build thread........

Just a small update on this;

Ive just paid for the NQSBBK off Jonny at BCR.  Ive gone for the standard GTi red with Brembo logos in white.  Ive got Ferrodo DS2500 pads, ready to go on new standard discs, that will have the inner 7mm taken off by 1mm, and then painted so I dont have the rust line from unused disc face.

The Milltek is due for delivery later this week, Ive gone for the race system, with the resonated pipe, to keep noise levels down.

Im then going Revo stage 2, and hopefully a DSG map, to take the torque limiters out etc - waiting for a reply from Revo as to whether they do this for the Ed35 yet, as they didnt when the stage 1 map was put on.

Hoping for 320-330bhp, with a nice brake setup......perfect for the school run.

Are you planning any suspension mods Oli?

[Oli]

Maybe..........

[wigit]

Maybe..........

So that's a yes 

[Hedge]

Do you know what revision DSG box you have Oli?

[Oli]

Do you know what revision DSG box you have Oli?

No.  Ive emailed Revo to see if they do it yet

Oli
I bet the kids are thrilled about being delivered to school in record time. Sure your wife is not complaining about getting to the shops 5 mins sooner - more shopping time

When will you get to drive it 

[Hedge]

 

[Oli]

Haha, very good.

I drive it every so often..... and when I do I like to surprise other faster cars.  In all seriousness I think when this work is done this will be a great all rounder, docile when needed, but very fast when necessary.

I like to have a little project on the go

ITG closed cone intake doesn't add any real noise, to my disappointment. Not cheap though

The DSG map is a Must do Oli. 

Faster, cleaner gear changes
Removes the torque limiter
Increases clamping pressure on the clutch packs for better torque handling
Locks out kick down and auto gear up in manual mode.
Sport mode becomes less frantic

 

Don't know if Revo do a DSG map for the ed35 yet either. They didn't do one for the Golf R and yet again told me "it is in the pipeline, they just have other projects on the go first" which to me translated as "it will be around a year, if ever" if my experience of waiting for a DSG map for the Polo GTI was anything to use as a yardstick. GIAC may be able to do one though. Avoid Custom-Code at all costs for the DSG map though if you have Revo.

Another recommendation for DSG map. It works like a treat on my ed30... you just have to keep and eye on things so you dont forget to change and bounce off the limiter.

I agree, just waiting to hear back from Revo as they didn't do it when I enquired last time.

[Oli]

Revo still dont do the DSG map.......

But on the plus side the Milltek has arrived, and will be fitted friday and stage 2 coding done on monday.  Brakes should be on friday too, providing spacers arent needed - Anyone have any recommendations where to ge them if I need them?
