You'll probably need a 3'' downpipe and 2.5'' cat back and maybe if your actuators weak like mine was a forge one with red spring

Not many places offer a stage 2 remap on an AGU without having changed the turbo, there's just not much more gain to be had without first upgrading the turbo.

The forge 007p will allow you to cope with the new boost figures as well as be more durable as the standard bosch DV are known to break. Induction will make a nice noise as well as allow response. FMIC  won't benefit you much on a daily basis only when heat soak becomes and issue, ragging the old dog and summer. I though stage 2 was full exhuast setup, 4FBR, FMIC, induction kit, TIP.

You could have the map tweaked, but I cannot see how you would gain any benefit or performance from a DV and a FMIC, if anything it will run better in the heat rather than that nasty heat soak making the car slower/sluggish. Plus the Induction kit won't make much of a performance gain, if anything the exhuast should see the most benefit and maybe your next mod?

Also the turbo lets the golfs down, k03 is ok but does not go far maxed out, k03s will be a better choice, after that there's other turbo options its all down to what you want to put out.

As above really... Buy yourself a downpipe (ebay jobbys seem to be a good buy) and a TIP. That'll give you the best out of the k03, just bolt on the k03s when your turbo breaks or you can afford to upgrade and welcome yourself to another power increase like a stage 1.

Some companys have designed their generic map on stage 2 to include a bigger fpr and some taylor the map to run the standard one... so thats worth checking when you decide which company you want.

If you are intent on going stage 2 then wait till you change the turbo, the boost request is higher for the ko3s compared to the ko3, you will only have to get it mapped again if you go for the stage 2 now

as well as turbo, downpipe and a sports cat or decat are essential, the oe is extremely restrictive.
