Title: Should I Or Should I Not?
Post by: T88OMM on 29 February 2008, 10:05
I have got some cash burning a hole in my pocket at the mo and I am really struggling not to spend it. The situation is that I am wanting my ED30 to run a stage 2 remap, obviously to do this you need things like a full exhaust system, FMIC etc. I have had a Milltek on order for a bit and there is no real sign of it arriving! So im thinkin that I am just gonna get a Stage 1 remap to see what I think of it and if I feel the car can handle more power I will get the other bits and then switch it to Stage 2, 330 BHP  :laugh: Does this sound more sensible than my original plan of getting the exhaust, intercooler etc. first and then getting the Stage 2 remap last ??

technically, you do not NEED Milltek for Stage 2. You may need wider cat-back exhaust but it does not have to be Milltek, you know.

Sounds good...mid august also sounds good..to be honest i honestly thought it would be alot alot sooner thats why i thought i wouldnt have the new car by then  :grin: It does sound like a plan...there is not much to see here in Gibraltar, one day is more than enough to see everything (its tiny)...then ofcourse you have the choice of the Costa del Sol...Marbella, Malaga and my favourite...Puerto Banus...i honestly like the idea and money is not really an issue with accomodation and stuff so lets just....keep in touch i guess!  :smiley:
