Is there anyone has gone Stg2/2+ and wished they had not?
Bernhard30:
Interesting discussion this, cheers guys.
Quick update my Ed30 currently has a St1 Revo map plus Autotech HFFP.
Then a Milltek DP & Cat, plus Dbilas induction kit was fitted.
As a guide I fully intend to keep my car...probably forever. So I don't want to squeeze engine components to bursting point. Or chase pub numbers.
So for extra cooling purposes I'm now thinking of a Forge Twintercooler, hence my pleading and hopeful attempt at a group buy..anyone else keen?
My pondering now is whether to stay at St1 (unlikely), go to 2 (possible),
or go for St2+ (probably) - but only a mild version of the 'Plus'.
I have chatted with PDT about this and respect Dave's knowledge on these things so I think I'm certain of the way forward, but if any one else has views or horror stories it would be good to know.

The whole point of mapping is to up the power. But I fully agree it's how the car delivers the power and handles.
The beauty about the VAG TFSi/TSi engines is you can turn a fairly quick car in to a very quick car for the less than buying a very fast car to begin with.
MAT ED30:
yes but you cant up the power and not think about how the car is going to react to it so you need to sort the handling out and how that extra power is going to get on to the road instead of losing it and the car pulling all over the place so having the extra power is a waste. But thats only what i think :smiley:

I asked Revo what stage wad the best for drivability, response and overall performance, they said Stage 2 :happy2:
Seems that 2 over 1 adds low down torque and responsiveness and power with no downside
