Thanks again AJP - the stage thing makes sense, it is just a number as they are custom maps. I never thought of it like that.
I've just emailed R-Tech for their advice and to book in for the 'tweak map' - I'll let you know what they say. They'll probably call it a stage 1+ map I presume?

I'd say if you were going to get an uprated pump as well as the BCS you'd be somewhere between 1+ and 2 in R-Tech terms. But again, no point labelling it with a number!
I'd imagine a car with an aftermarket turbo back, aftermarket HPFP and a standard inlet would be a much nicer beast than one with an aftermarket turbo back, aftermarket inlet and standard HPFP.
If you're just doing the exhaust then map tweak without a HPFP upgrade, you should see a reasonable increase in power across the rev range, maybe seeing the best increases at mid-high revs, where the standard downpipe and cat would bottleneck the flow. Again, don't look at the before and after peak hp figures to see what you gain, look at the extra area under the curve.

Exhaust was finally fitted on Wednesday and boy has it made a difference. The first thing is the sound....absolutely awesome! Cannot ask for more. And so glad I went for the Powervalve system....I'm sure I would have regretted getting any other system!
Now booked in for my re-map tweak at R-Tech a week today. Then leaving the car alone for a while and just gonna enjoy it......
