finally got my car in today for stage 2+ software and i have to say its a massive difference. its going to take some getting ust to as it is so different.
The only way i can describe it, is at stage one you get a thrust as the turbo spools and pulls for 1500-2000rpm, except this time it has that pull all the way round to 7000rpm. sooo happy with it. A friend followed me home in his e46 M3 and he was struggling to stay with me through 2-3-4 gear. was keeping within the speed limits at all times of course.
the fuel pump internals are so worth the £250 i paid and recommend to all
-
i agree.
REVO?
-
What did you go from?
-
Did you go from stage 1 to stage 2+? I'm at stage 1 atm and considering my options whether to go stage 2 or stage 2+. Mine is a daily driver so any advice is greatly appreciated. :happy2:
-
i went from stage 1 bluefin to nothing then to 2+ revo, massive difference.
-
yep revo software.
went from stage one straight to stage 2+. Using the ITG maxogen induction and dp with decat. i really cant believe the difference. its almost as impressive as going from stock to stage one. blew me away.
the only thing i dont have is the FMIC but i dont use the car all the time. more evenings and weekend so i dont worry about heat soak so much atm. I will no doubt get a ths cooler in the summer as the man at revo helped develop it and gets the cooler for 450 if i want one. he knows kev at revo personally so he knows his stuff and the cars running perfect.
Alot jucier though while having spirited drives but thats to be expected. think he set my settings as B8 T7 F4 or 5 cant remember now

Stage2+ is great, keep thinking of selling my ed30 with plans for something new, then drive the golf for a bit and cant think what else there is available that comes close as far as practicality, joy of driving and performance :driver:
Still have a few autotech HPFP kits left from the group buy (shameless plug) :ashamed:
-
lol and i can say how good the internals were which i purchased from PDT. and only took and hour to fit them.
DO IT !!! :happy2:
-
im interested in hpfp how much for these delivered to northern ireland pm if you like
-
im also at revo stage one and thinking about stage 2+, after reading about the difference from revo stage one im really tempted.
What is roughly the cost of making this jump? im guessing its dependent on what make of fuel pump, exhaust etc that i decide to go for, anyone know roughly the cost? Or should i stop being lazy and get down to my local revo dealer lol :scared:
-
this is only what i paid and prices may vary
bought dp and decat of ebay £175
ITG maxogen £ 360
Autotech hpfp internals £260
and then from stage one revo to 2+ £100
i have also upgraded the brakes and this needs to be thought about. nothing major just new brembo discs £100 and ds2500 pads £160
and remember the extra stress on the clutch. i have put aside money for a new one as it slipped once or twice at stage one.
not trying to scare anyone off as it is truely awesome and relentless power but may help to be prepared just incase
-
johnboy what do you think of the ITG maxogen? Local revo dealer put it onto his cupra and the car made good gains alongside revo stage one, however the noise on full throttle was quite noisy in the cabin. The golf is suppose to be better insulated, do you find the noise very intrusive, or does the different exhaust drown it out? :smiley:

In the golf it sounds like darth vador is hiding in your engine bay

That price is + postage which is £6.20 to mainland uk. So £256.20 in total.
Get 5 orders together on here and i will do them at £250 delivered as I can get a few more sets in if needed, only have 2-3 pumps left here right now.
-
yep can clarify that darth vader is in my engine bay lol. before the downpipe the itg made the car sound very similar to an evo on the outside and inside there was a deep throaty sound from the engine. With the downpipe fitted its now not as deep. A little raspy but i like it.
Wouldnt want it any louder though as it would become to chavy. normal driving however there isnt too much noise and sounds very subtle. full throttle is like the devil has possesed my engine haha

wen im going stage 2+ do i need a dv like every1 else seems to be changing on ere my cars an 57 ed 30
-
The dv (diverter valve) on the k04 230hp engine wasnt as much of an issue as the k03 197hp engine. No need to change it unless its broken.
-
cheers for the reply dave
ive started up a group buy for the hpfp in the gb section
come on we only need 5 people

Glad to hear that you are happy with the upgrade :happy2:
What power is estimated for stage 2+ REVO. My Ed 30 is Stage 1 Bulefin and rolling road indicated 303bhp and similar torque. The reason for the question is that for you guys exceeding 300 bhp how do you get the power down in FWD car. Do you have heavily moded suspension to cope as with my current set up I can't imagine being able to use much more power in first three gears. Already marginal in give and take conditions with the threat of wheelspin and understeer always present.
Thanks

wat sort of bhp/ftlb would u expect from a k03 dave? would i loose some torque as mine already seems high
