Stage 1..... faster
Stage 2..... a bit faster that stage 1
Stage 2+....... a bit faster than stage 2

Take your pick!  :signLOL:

Thanks all,

Well I took the plunge and ordered a full milltek, resonated as I don't want the noise. I have read a few people went exhaust with a change in panel filter for stage 2 and were happy with it, will try that first as I already have a VWR filter. Again I don't really want the noise a induction brings so will sacrifice a few bhp to keep the airbox. Everything I have ready says the exhaust (Down pipe and cat) are the most important parts to free the engine up.

Out of interrest does anyone class their induction as quiet ?

Knowing me and my need to tinker I will be looking at fuel pumps and inductions at some point ! :jumpmove:

Looking into stage 2 myself. What intercooler are you running? Was thinking of just cat back for now until the urge gets hold of me again

Madone:
Not gone for a new IC yet, from what I have read rhe standard one is ok (unless you are on a track or driving really hard on a really really hot day). I don't think a cat back exhaust will do anything, the cat and the down pipe are the things which give you stage 2. Don't bother with cat back - at least that is what I have been told/read. It might sound better with a cat back but def won't give you stage 2. As you say, the urge to mod is there  :jumpmove:

Standard IC is kak. Like the HPFP the a uprated IC will benefit even a stock car. For cheap look at an S3, for really good look at THS or the Darkside one or for great get s PERON.
