Finally booked the stage 1

@Beej - No. I did ask their opinion but they said at stage 1 there's little point.
@Ruggy - I'm running DSG so not necessary (at least, I think that's the case).
@Dan_FR - Yeah the curves look real nice don't they. I'm WELL happy! You're absolutely right about the transformation, I can't believe the difference it made! I'm guessing I don't need to worry too much about the clutch on a DSG setup?

I'd love to take the motor on a track but I'm concerned about the brakes. What do people tend to upgrade to that won't brake the bank (see what I did there?  :wink:)? Ideally i want something that's OK when driven on the road by the wife on a cold day and good when I'm ragging it round Castle Combe generating heat galore!

Any advice is very much appreciated!

Cheers,
Matt.

Beej:
@matty-boy good result. I was mainly asking as I am still in dispute over my car 'needing' a dsg map as it is limiting my torque. I am on stage 2+ revo with much lower torque figures than you!

That's doesn't sound right for stage 2+

Did you use 'known good' hardware upgrades and get a custom tune from revo? I've heard stories of peeps getting their local machine shop to make a 'custom' decat downpipe which actually doesn't breath as well as the stock DP and cat!

I don't want to start an argument about one tuner being better than another but have you considered taking yours to R-Tech? I'm no expert on these things but if you've got stage 2+ hardware with a map to take advantage of this but you're getting less torque than my stage 1 on oem exhaust (pre-cat removed) there is something wrong somewhere?

I believe my DSG is running the stock map (Niki at R-Tech did not say he'd tweaked it) so I doubt it's your DSG box limiting the torque??

I'm sure somebody who knows more that me (pretty much everyone on this forum) will have some ideas......?

DO IT! You won't regret it! I just wish I got mine remapped the day after I bought the car!  :smiley:
