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

....That's music to my ears! :pomppomp: :pomppomp: :pomppomp: :star:
I'm only a K03 GTI on Revo2 and 92k miles but it's good to hear.

I maybe should have pointed out I've only had stage 3 for about 600 miles lol but I think it's the original turbo.

Could you elaborate on what hardware and software comprise DNA stage 3?

The usual hardware as for stage 2+.
berg:
So can anyone elaborate why stage 2+ is potentially far riskier than stg 2? Does the software push the engine components closer to dangerous levels that the ECU may not appreciate?
I thought Revo was tested to such an extent that you were still operating well within the safety parameters so if you service everything at shorter intervals why is 2+ seen as a gamble? :confused:
heavyd:
first of all, youre running 130bar of fuel pressure instead of 110bar.
secondly revo runs 1500mb of boost, stage 2 is about 1100-1300mb.
my PDT stage 2 is about 310bhp and 290lbsft of torque, my stage 2+ revo was 350bhp and 370lbs of torque. all this is obviously going to stress the components more, but havent heard of that many engines going bang, and like myself, youre not going to have your foot planted to the floor all the time you drive your car, so I'm not that worried about it to be honest. Bens car is an example of the reliability.
Its your choice at the end of the day. But its a slippery slope, so no doubt you'll eventually end up at stage 2+ anyway...... :popcornsoda:
