Thanks for info, looks like it isnt worth getting
quote from revo bloke

Stage II files are for cars with upgraded turbos, they are essentially the same as stage I files however in sport mode rev out slightly higher to better match the power band of a big turbo application. Stage II could be run on highly modified stock turbo car but most people will only need stage I.

I cant see why people would need a dsg map at all. I drive pretty hard and fast but have never felt the dsg interfere and maybe its just my throttle but i never knew I had a kick down until someone pointed it out.

The fact that in manual it still changes down to avoid stalling is very handy and as for it changing up at 7100.... well unless your on track or at santapod regularly i really cannot see the benefit for road cars.

I am contemplating having it done due to the power getting killed at 6200rpm. This is a pain especially when racing were i can keep up with cars in the mid range but then they just past you when you hit 6200 as they have an extra 1500-2000rpm to play with (car dependent)

Its good if its put into use. Every day driver ? No.
