Is there anyone has gone Stg2/2+ and wished they had not?

two months later, I've fitted an APR fuel pump and looking at getting a stage 3 remap in the next couple of weeks......
Does that answer your question :popcornsoda:

is stage 3 only for KO3 cars? If you have KO4 can you go 2+ and then hybrid a la Hurdy?
Poppa Dom:
Hurdy never went hybrid, just NOS.

Thanks guys, I think then after listening to Greeners and Carrera; stage 2 would be a good option as I note people like RR have stopped at this level too and like Greeners I would like to keep the car and not risk mechanical failure of key components.

....It's a hard fact that the more you push the performance envelope the more you risk reliability. That's fine as long as someone understands that and accepts it. Personally, I think that handling and 'lsd' mods are more important than a Stage2+ but ETTO of course.

i think stage 2+ might actually be to much for a car now in hindsight.
however i really value the midrange of the HPFP.
So i think a stage 1 remap, HPFP, and intake would be the best choice of modifications for me. id bet that would be similar to stage 2 peak figures, but with better mid range whihc is more usable in everyday life. plus it save you spending 1100 on a TBE
