What to do before a stage 1 remap?

Thank you everyone, much appreciated.

Yeah I was preparing for that as a possibility. Would be a good excuse to have a go at my first clutch change and upgrade to the TTRS clutch.

Ha yeah. Brake pads and discs are in good order currently. Would it be worth looking at getting better calipers at some point? There seems to be a few options, and I'm not sure which ones to go for that will be the easiest to get my hands on (for a reasonable price).

I was in the same position looking for breaks for my ed30 . The standard brakes were not up to the job with revo stage one map. Found a set online of a 2014 Audi s3, including discs and pads for £300 .
Clutch will be next job. Had to reduce boost and timing due to clutch slip
mjmallia:
Brakes from an R32 or S3 will be a big improvement over the standard GTI stuff (345mm front and 305mm ish vented rears)
I initially had just the fronts which made a massive improvement, then added the rears and that was another leap in improvement.......very responsive now, but fronts are heavier.

* I believe I'm still on the original MAF Sensor (16 years old). I've cleaned it and I have no reason to believe anything is wrong, but is it worth replacing anyway?

Nope. If it's still measuring correctly, leave it be :smiley:
If I had my ED30 again, I would stage 1 tune it and that's it. Everything else left standard, but refreshed with new parts. All of it is plenty good enough unless you track the car.
