Revo Stage 2 (Probably Stage 1)
Kalpsn2000:
Thanks Robin, that was a good read :happy2:
I won't be doing many (any) track days so no need for the intercooler. So it's probably best to change the CAI and HPFP at the same time, IF I do?
I will be heading down to a recommended tuner soon but just wanted to get a better understanding before I do. I think PDT have a branch near me (based in NW London).
I am starting to understand what this slippery slope is now :laugh:

....There's no real advantage in installing a CAI and HPFP in the same session but it is definitely a very good idea to check and anyway renew the Cam Follower (~£20) while the fuel pump is being changed.
Unless you already have lots of performance modding experience or knowledge, it's best IMO to mod one step at a time. Not only do you appreciate more exactly what each mod individually contributes but if you have a problem it usually makes diagnosing it much easier/quicker.

I am a modding noob really. So after reading this thread and some other articles I am actually thinking of taking your advice and going stage 1 for now.

You'll be blown over with stage 1. As Robin says, mod one stage at time and enjoy it, live with it and if you fancy more, move onwards and upwards.
:happy2:

....Well it's up to you of course, but to go from Revo (for example) Stage 1 to Stage 2 only costs ~£50 IIRC.
I ran on Stage 1 for tens of thousands of miles before Stage 2. I was also advised by professional tuners that it's a good idea to fit some of your hardware performance mods before remapping so that the remap might be fine tuned to accommodate them more efficiently. But most folks go max bang for buck and want the power as soon as possible and don't wait.
