What should I do before a Remap
chigmuss:
R - Techs guide to required engine components will be a help to your planning for S2/+ but you definitely need the brakes in place very soon after mapping. Reigning in your enthusiasm until you can afford the requisite brakes isn't always easy, you don't want to be finding your standard brakes won't slow you down at a T junction or worse! The Porsche Boxster NQSBBK is reasonably affordable.
Manny_ED30:
Yes brakes are done. I thought, a exhaust system, intake and fmic with neuspeed discharge pipes would be safe at stage 2 with standard fuel parts. I won't gamble on this though so maybe upgrading the fuel bits is something that shouldn't be ignored if going above stage 1?
AJP:
You'll get much more out of an uprated pump than any intake or charge pipes. And you'll be safeguarding against fuel cuts, which aren't uncommon with Stage 2 maps. Standard pumps are notoriously weak and inconsistent.
Put the money towards a pump.

As we've discussed before, if you need massive brakes to stop for a T junction, it's your driving that's the problem, not the brakes :grin:
I've been stage 1 ED30 for nearly 2 years and still running standard brakes :smiley:
Agreed with AJP, don't waste money on boost pipes, air filters and the like. Focus on the things that are actually a restriction - the downpipe and the HPFP.
chigmuss:
Errr, no. Ed 30 brakes are gash. You have 50 hp more at stage 1 than an r32 and brakes that were budgeted down. Anyway, you're happy with standard , I like braking late and being able to stop in an emergency situation. We're both happy
