STAGE 2??

[Wazzzer]

make sure you have ample air flow to your intercooler too  :embarassed:

Not sure I made my self too clear in my original post.

When I said R32 I meant Anniversary, ie just the rear valence with the gap for an exhaust to poke out

I'd be looking at something like a full Miltek exhaust, Forge intake, that sort of stuff.

I know that will cost a grand at least.

What I want to know is what upgrade in power I can expect with a good stage 2 setup

I've gone 150bhp to 200bhp for £250

If going to 220bhp-ish is going to cost upwards of £1500, which is what it seems to me, it doesnt seem worth it.

Am I missing something?

What engine code you got?

Stage 2 complete should take you 220-230 (k03 turbo will see you around the lower end more while the k03s more at the higher end), might be worth thinking about a bigger turbo like a k04-001 (direct fit) or k04-023 (needs some work) that should see you to the 260 mark. Otherwise it's more serious turbo's like GT28-RS and T4.... Other options if you have k03 turbo is going k03s or hybrid.

i have a small fmic and 2.5" piping and dont see much lag at all. After a long run when not just the engine bay but the entire front end feels like it on fire lol, it stills pulls just as hard, even on warm days. Does seem to run better too.

Just to add to info for this thread, I have a forge turbo intake, pipercross filter, 2.5" turbo back decat exhaust and a fmic. Running at 16psi and kicks out over 240bhp and 270+ft-lb torque.

220bhp out of a K03 turbo  Would like to see that

I wouldn't - you'll end up like me; parked on a grass verge half a mile from GTI International

Yeh most likely.

AUM - is that K03 or K03s ?

cheers for the help so far guys.

Up to you if you think it's worth it though, save a grand by not fitting a turbo back? Maybe just get a custom down pipe as that's apparently where the restriction is. 240bhp from a ko3s at 16 psi, how did you get that figure, dyno machine?  A ma on the Audi forum was running mega high boost of 24psi with 230bhp, but 290lb torque, he did turn it down for his turbos sake, most agreed real figures for stage two are around 225bhp with 240lb.
