Title: Any views of REvo stage 2
Post by: Carrera2RS on March 01, 2011, 01:32:38 pm
Thinking of full Miltek, Forge DV and air filter. Not looking to replace the air intake (inlet noise, engine cover damafe)

Anyone done something similar and any idea of power and driveability  :happy2:

290-300bhp on dyno dynamics normally on average.  :innocent:

Stage 1 normally around 275-290bhp

Guys, has anyone have experience on REVO stage 2 without an intake?  I have stage 1 and a TBE and wanted to know if it's possible / worthwhile?

I am running Revo stage 2 map, with just Milltek TBE and K&N panel filter, standard intake.  :smiley:

How are you finding it mandy, any good

Seems to run ok, obviously the difference going from stage 1 to 2 is nothing like going from stock to stage 1.

I just thought I'd go stage 2 to maximise the potential of the exhaust (and got the map for free in the end!), was gonna get an ITG intake but didn't bother.

Best thing is my mpg has gone up!  :pomppomp:

I'm also running Revo2 and have been doing so for some time. As Mandy says, the Stage 1 to 2 difference isn't so dramatic. You'll need a high-flow exhaust and air intake to get the best out of the remap. If you go to Revo2+ you'll need to do other mods like the HPFP.

This is good to hear as i think i will ask to have stage two put on when i go back to have revo reinstalled, after getting my dsg oil changed

I think Revo stage 2 is excellent, I will not go any further. It runs very crisp and sweet on the Pirelli, miles better than the stage 1 map I had before (Motech).

I average 27-28mpg long term , I was 26 before. I run B,T,F 6,5,9

Carrera2RS - are you running an intake as well?  or just a panel filter?
Title: Re: Any views of REvo stage 2

A high-flow intake will make a big difference to the bhp gain on Revo2. Depending on whether K03 or K04 you'll gain 15-20 bhp and probably have to turn down the fuelling one notch. <--- It's all in my Forge Twintake review thread.

No I'm not running an intake just a K&N panel filter, I didn't want to modify the engine cover and the Inlet I heard in car EVOMs or ITG I think was quite noisy and I didn't like the noise (it was not attractive induction roar, which I like)

I have no real need for extra power at two figure speeds and front wheel drive. I am looking forward to seeing what it delivers at JKM last time on the same settings with a twintercooler which for whatever reason didn't work at all well the car made 300 hp but wouldn't pull over 6k. So with the cooler off it must be over 300 and pulls very cleanly

I took the plunge today, bought an itg intake which should arrive in a couple of weeks, after which I'll get stage two installed

Nice one Chris, the ITG will compete nicely with the exhaust for tunes.

Me being rather conservative I went for the quiet Dbilas intake and Milltek non res.
Stealth rather than Shouty for me, as much as a Candy white ed30 can be really..
Title: Re: Any views of REvo stage 2
Post by: chris s on October 05, 2011, 11:16:02 am
yeah I would have preferred stealth too, but for some reason I've ended up with a TBE with 200CEL cat and now an ITG... so it appears I've gone entirely the opposite direction... fingers crossed the end resul will be what I am after thoguh... i.e. the torque I've not really found yet
Title: Re: Any views of REvo stage 2

An intake and stg2 wont find your missing torque Chris.

Perhaps not immediately but view were in my plans anyway so when we both find some free time I'll come and get it booked in with you to get a full session of data logging

....For once I managed to understand one of your posts (can't you write in a form of English which everyone can understand?). But it shows you don't have that much understanding of the differences between Stage2 and Stage2+. There's more to it than just a small amount of extra cost.

I went stage 2 revo with piper cross panel filter and made 320bhp. I was very happy but was told to choose the pipercross over the k&n because the k&n apparently contaminates the maf sensor. That just what AMD told me anyway.
