Stage2+

<< < (3/9) > >>

micky 32:
I'd say go for stage 2+. I have the equivalent on the apparently "weaker" ko3 engine which now has done 106k flawlessly. Done since 50k.

rob172cup:
Im a little bothered about going more than stage one as ive just bought the car and its 5 years old, i plan on keeping it for another 5 years so it will be an old car when i get rid, will it be ok running stage 2 or more ? What could the consequences be ?

56OctyVRS:
Im going Shark Stage 3 soon (stage 2+)  As long as you service the car regularly there should be no real issues with the engine. Obviously when modifying parts do wear out quicker such as plugs.  But I accept that as part of the modifying game.  I wouldnt have any worries about fitting the HPFP internals as even standard cars benefit from them being fitted with no running issues.  Just make sure you dont rush installing them as it can be costly when done wrong.  Given the current weather and money not being a problem, I am going to get Shark to install it for me.

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

i am in exactly the same position as you mate, getting the pump internals and debating about the intercooler. Have revo stage 2 on my ed30 with itg and a bcs tbe and dsg

Thank you

Eric

Well I had a shark stage 3 on my car.
I've spent £4k trying to get the car right again., had a new new turbo and the engine rebuilt.
 I dont thrash the car, no track days etc. Worst its ever had was 3 trips down the strip at inters, and I let it cool down properly after each run! No idea what caused the problem, but I wont be going back to stage 2+/3 again  :scared:
