As you know I disconnected my battery and it took my map off...
So they said will charge me £50 to put stage 1 back on...
According to revo there stage 2 software is £50 plus VAT due to me already having stage 1
All I need is a decat or sports car anyone know a good price for them? Will the ebay £150 do okay?
I'm just worried about the clutch going If I go stage 2 ,anyone had problems ?
Cheers

i am sad to say the stock clutch only lasted 70k on the Pirelli running Stage 1
-
No it didn't take your map off. Did you not learn anything from your other thread?
Either find someone with a switch or ask them to turn your map back on.

Think it is just the luck of the draw mate????
A lad I was speaking to the other day got 45k on standard clutch while running stage 2+, yet someone else is having to replace theirs after 40k at standard!!!

drive your car using your cars gears correctly and your clutch will last. I never had a hint of slip on mine and I ran stage 2+ for ages.
theres a reason DSG transmission changes down gears to accelerate!

Whoever said did I not learn from my previous post..

so apparently statler said they can put me the stage 2 on without a decat for the time being :/because theres not much difference apart from switching the lamba sensor off..
has any body had any experience with stage 2 from revo?
thanks

He is obv just a bit simple and would like some advice man

Stage 2 does not need a decat exhaust. It only need a downpipe and sports cat

He wants a de-cat to save money mate, he is on about keeping standard exhaust/downpipe and going stage 2

I'm running an Ebay special downpipe and have been for ages now, AKS modified it slightly though by adding a bigger flexihose
-
Nice one ! Had any clutch slip?
Something about a torque spoke that can damage it the clutch? From the decat
-
Depends how you drive.... Same as any other clutch! If you are kind to it it will be kind to you! My old s3 did 85k before I changed the clutch, a good 60k of that was with a stage 2 remap

It's very common for a eBay special De cat to produce lots and lots of clutch slip....so bad in fact I removed mine and now it's perfect :-)

It comes down to the way the car is mapped. A smooth delivery which has been setup to the cars hardware should be better for the clutch. Its the map that requests the torque, a free-er flowing downpipe/de-cat is allowing the maps request to be met
