Stage2+
56OctyVRS:
Thankfully mne is only the Octy Vrs so stage 3 will be about 280bhp. So for me stage 3 should be fine. Modifying is luck of the draw. You could have someone with identical mods as heavyd and it run perfect. Just the joys and woes of modifying
Poppa Dom:
Like all that has been said here, the higher the state of tune that you run the more knowledge and understanding of the car you need to understand all the variables at play - anyone running Stage 2+ in my mind should have a half decent knowledge about data logging using VCDS and, if running Revo, a clear understanding of boost, timing and fuelling settings and the relationships that these have on each other in order to optimise your tune, which will change during the year. I have had no issues running my car Stage 2+ (ED30) for the past 2 years and have done over 40k at this state of tune with no problems.
Looking after the car with frequent oil checks etc and high levels of general maintenance all help.

heavyd:
Guess that's the benefits of revo. I just had to keep asking for map revisions to knock back timing or boost all the time. But in the end it must have been too late. I was using half a dipstick of oil every 250 miles before it went in for repair

Whats the difference between stage2 and stage2+ software ?
Because i will be fitting the hpfp does it mean i will have to get the s2+ software ?

You can safely install stage 2 software with an uprated hpfp but to get the max benefit of the pump you'll need software that caters specifically for it's inclusion i.e. stage 2+. :smiley:
