It's a slippery slope, Mandy. Kev @ Revo, who has a huge amount of experience of modding, once told me that each of us has to draw our own line in the sand and then not cross it. Easier said than done but the more you push the performance envelope, the more is needed. It costs more and more money and you have to make sure you keep reliability and driveability. Do you really need more power than you already have from your Ed30?

Lol, no not necessarily needing more power but just thinking that an IC would be a beneficial thing rather than a necessity, a bit like what you said about the HPFP:

I agree with your advice on the APR pump - It's not essential but a mod which gives headroom and contributes to a smoother power delivery.

I don't believe I'd want to remove the APR pump on the basis Revo have changed enough of their map to not require it, i.e requesting 130bar... And anyway if it's requesting 130bar and your pumps giving it, aslong as you're getting the AFR right then surely this will make more power than a map that requests less fuel... on the basis of more fuel/air=more power...
Like you i'm stage 2, and require an intercooler to go stage 2+, but still wonder if I just max out Stage 2 and start on suspension mods, or go the whole hog and jump to stage 2+ as I would have all the supporting gear to run reliably I believe.
There's hopefully going to be an Airtec GB coming up if you wanted a cheaper(still quality) intercooler option, and then you can decide stay at stage 2 and max out the settings or push for stage 2+...
But you know if I go stage 2+ then to keep our cars the same you will need to too! :signLOL:

Lol Dom, sounds like it's inevitable that you'll be stage 2+ soon, so maybe I should stay at stage 2 just so we can differentiate between our cars. :signLOL:
To be honest though I can't see me going to stage 2+, with IC or not. :happy2:
So does anybody know if the stage 2 software update still requests 130 bar? :smiley:

Mandy..
Let me know if you want to flog the APR pump ...I "might" be interested :signLOL:

Ok Lee, but I wouldn't get your hopes up too high... :laugh:
Andy:
Just do it Mandy--you know you want to :grin:

Sooo... I presume the linear and non-linear map give exactly the same torque/power but it is simply the delivery of it which is the only difference
