All Things Mk5 > Performance Modifications
Seems I need some new mods to get a map
Dan_FR:
You don't NEED any of it, you can just have a sports car and take it to Niki for Stage 2 mapping as it is. All of the mods mentioned are to extract maximum performance - just be honest when filling in the spec sheet
MPG when pootling around will be no different really, as the cars run at Lambda 1 with maximum timing for MPG/efficiency anyway, but obviously the first few weeks of honing about won't be wallet friendly
rich83:
Haha. My car has had some kind of Map on it for 4 years now. Still struggle to get above 25mpg average. Fun though.
AJP:
Not so, Dan. The HPFP upgrade I mentioned I needed wasn't to extract maximum performance. It was to cure the fuel cuts I was getting after the Stage 2 map.
Going over old ground here anyway. Nobody seems to actually read threads properly.
OP, good luck with your car.

If it was needed to stop fuel cuts then either the stock pump was failing or the map was asking for too much of the standard pump and needed load/pressure requests capped further which I'm sure the tuner would do. Not ideal if not local but often peak load situations don't show themselves on a dyno
The whole point of the 'stage 2' or '2+' mapping is to differentiate between the requirement of a HPFP upgrade
AJP:
I know. And as such, I wasn't expecting the Stage 2 map to ask too much of my standard pump. I think I'd heard of this once before with an R-Tech Stage 2 map. Maybe I was the lucky number two.
Anyway, I think it's wise to say that you can't guarantee a standard pump will always be ok with a Stage 2 map.
