Smoothness is the key :happy2: after all, us K03 boys aren't about chasing big figures :grin:
I'll look forward to it - October would be better for the cold Autumn air :wink:

....The air at the moment is particularly cold! Bright and sunny but cold = Perfect for enjoying driving turbo'd cars.
The Autumn date will depend on JKM's availability.

APR pump was fitted yesterday. It was free with a rather expensive Cam Follower :grin:
New MAF needed and being fitted next week followed by logging and then dyno-day on 26th May. So a bit too soon to share any meaningful info.

Thanks Robin, just keep us updated :happy2:

Great post OP.
So, if my car is stage 1 remapped and I put a non-OEM filter on (in line with that suggested by the OP) would I see another (approx) 15bhp+ or would I need to do other modifications?
Thanks in advance.

....Firstly just to clarify, I'm assuming you mean a non-OEM high flow tubular intake with filter and not a flat panel filter which drops in the OEM air box. I say this because a flat panel will not deliver substantial bhp gains regardless of remap. I have run an ITG flat panel filter on Revo Stage 1.
Regarding your question of 15 bhp+ or not, you don't say whether you are running a K03 or K04 turbo'd car - The K04 will probably deliver more.
A high flow performance exhaust such as a Milltek, BCS, APR, will make the difference to release the power too. Also, Stage 2 gives more than Stage 1. All I can confidently say from direct experience is that the combination of a remap Stage 2, performance exhaust, and Twintake, on a k03 car should deliver 15-20 bhp extra.

Thanks Robin - apologies, when referring to non-OEM I was referring to the one you showed in your original post (the twin filter).
My car is a mk5 gti - all standard apart from stage 1 r-tech.
Sounds like I'd need a few more gubbins to extract the power .
Cheers
