PhilNUK:
cheers guys and very welcome information

What about clutch? anyone had issue with stock clutch at 2 or 2+?

AJP:
Yeah, mine started slipping when I got past about 320lb/ft. I'm not saying yours definitely will (before anyone jumps in).

I reckon if your clutch is good now there's a good chance it'll cope with Stage 2. There's no real way of knowing. I'd say it's a good idea to at least budget for a clutch.

I decided to replace mine with a Helix uprated clutch with oem flywheel. They take up to 400lb/ft or thereabouts, feels like stock, except for a heavier pedal.

I couldn't rule out being close to 400lb/ft in the future so it made sense for me to upgrade.

Mine wasn't with stage 1, let alone 2! It couldn't support 1.5bar boost, and it wasn't going much over 120bar.   Some cars need a pump, some don't.  We even tried a brand new OEM HPFP, no difference. More flow was required, so Loba to the rescue.
