BCS and Revo
Beej:
I take it i can buy the pump internals -£300 and fit them? Is it pretty straight forward? surely i could go for a stage 1+ (i know there isn't, but you know what i mean) with the tbe and intake? then pay the extra £50 in the summer for stage 2?

Get the REVO (or EVOMS) CAI first and a REVO stage 1 map and enjoy. When monies allow get the Powervlave and for only an additional £50 it's a REVO stage 2 map. Even a standard car will benefit from a HPFP and also a IC let a lone a tuned one but not essential for a REVO stage 2.
(Personally Id say R-Tech for tuning but thats just me)

meant to say, going revo as they are local, plus, my brother knows the guys and has just had his octavia vrs done with them!
MC71:
Yeap, your right re stage 1+. I had a R-Tech stage 1+ map with a REVO CIA and BCS Powervlave as the only mods as their stage 2 maps require a Intercooler.
I would recommend a Intercooler and HPFP as both these will be of benefit to your car.
Can't comment on internals or fitting, I bought a LOBA pump.
Beej:
ok, thank for that, really confused now, as at first i was under the impression from reading and reading and reading that really all that is needed for a stage 2 is the tbe and a cai is recommended, now thats not even enough! So realistically, with a stage 1+, would i still be looking at circa 250-260 bhp and 280/290lb/ft?

It's covered in here: http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,9988.0.html
@RedRobin fitted an intake and exhaust system with Revo stage 2 and after a while his power dropped. JKM traced the fault to the HPFP struggling to meet the fuel demands. An APR HPFP Fixed the problem :happy2:
@rich83 noticed similar with his Ed30 (same level of tune).
As the Revo intake has the potential to flow more air than Robin's twintake, your setup has a good chance of suffering the same fault.
