to qualify for a stage 2 remap do you have to have stage one done by revo? and what other actual mods do u need before u can even think about a stage 2? what does it boost you up to?

They told me I could go straight to a stage 2 as long as I have An exhaust, air filter, recirc dump valve and a 4 bar fuel pressure regulator, ordered it all now just waiting on delivery then I'm gonna call jabbasport, they said it boosts you up to 207-230bhp

I have just got a remap which takes me to about 210brake and since im going from the poor 1.4 figure of 75, that'l do me for now

[k5 dave]

well with stage 2 now done and with a full blue flame exhaust my golf 18t is pushing 215 bhp to be honest is enough for me mid range is now sorted up to 120mph in a flash puts a smile on my face every time i drive it  as the wife keeps saying i havent grone up yet  which i have to agree  . Next would involve changing the turbo which then gets exspensive, so i will stop with what ive got.

[Ashmond]

what engine you got?

What would I need to do to get the max potential out of my KO3s? As you guys know, I got a cold air feed and a remap.

[lofung]

I have an AGU with a k04, injectors, air filter, a cat back exhaust, and a remap. It's pushing out about 220bhp.  How much would an front mount intercooler do?

hi all ! i got a choice of 2 cars both r 1.8turbo one is ARZ and the another is AUM . the AUM one is already been remapwith air filter runnin at 218bhp and the ARZ is completely standard . the ARZ one is a litttle bit cheaper in price  and 20k mileage less than the AUM one . but when i get it im goin to mod it anyway and thinkin of fittting ko4 hybrid turbo on it . as i know already the AUM is better to mod and jus a remap will run around 210-220 bhp . so what do u guys think which one shall i buy ...

[stealthy]

how can you tell which engine you have?

[Ivor Mk4 Turbo]

I have read somewhere that some of the early AUM cars came with the KO3 turbo, therefore don't automatically assume your AUM has the KO3 's'!!!
