Stage2+

(1/9) > >>

ktlstar:
Please dont bite my head off, just looking for opinions.

I am awaiting my exhaust being made up from BCS, and just ordered my Autotech hpfp from Rob@w8 performance (Good man/service).

So now its a decision to go Stage2 or Stage2+ ?

Is it a must to have a bigger intercooler ?
Is the engine safe at stage2+ ?

Ed30

Thank you

Eric

berg:
2+ gives much more torque in the mid range and is safe providing it is set up and logged properly. On the other hand, people have said 2+ is a step too far and problems will develop over time.

Me, i went stg 1, stg 1+ (bdm cai with stg 1 map) and then straight to stg 2+. No problems so far accept a boost leak but plugs, filters, brakes etc all have to be changed more often so bear that in mind.

I say go 2+ and then you can scale it back to 2 quite easily if/when you want to.

ktlstar:
That is my concern, reading others with stage2+. The car is used weekend so it wont be thrashed about, but it would be nice to have the power upgrade i.e s2+.


Are you Revo Berg? What is the cost for the software ?

Thanks

berg:
the software is cheap to go up in stages (£50) and Revo have a winter deal on at mo to get the map (check their site or local revo dealer).

its the hardware that costs a lot - intercooler, full tbe, hpfp, cai but to get the most out of that you need suspension/transmission/braking upgrades which cost the real $$

how long do you plan to  keep the car? if not a long time i would prob stick at stg 1 and maybe get an itg on as well but ease to take back to standard.

Tamiyoman:
I am planning to go stage 2 with my Ed30, TBE, Twintake and remap, have thought about fuel pump upgrade but thats about as far as I will likely go as I dont want to be adding intercoolers, changing injectors or valves etc  :happy2:
