Depends how far you want to push.

My AGU injectors topped out at around 235bhp.

My stage 2 setup:

k03s turbo with forge actuator with yellow spring (makes a huge difference and gets higher peak power figures + holds power far better)
new N75
new maf
VR6 maf housing
pipercross panel filter in smoothed airbox with cold air feed to bumper

thanks alot mate, got a few bits n pieces
Forge TIP (needed to fit a k03s to a AGU
Ebay decat
Homemade 2.5" exhaust
THS intercooler (needed for stage 2) (or FMIC)
Calira turbo yellow injectors
007p with yellow spring
PCV deleted
charcoal canister deleted
Throttle body mod
3bar FPR

Injectors and MAf housing aint needed if you pushing power.

thanks m8, was that 235 on a stage 1 with standard injectors, got a few bits n pieces already, is there not much needed for a stage 1 map then, cos a lot o the stuff i was gna do anyway u had mentioned for your stage 2 setup, whats the TB mod and what do  u mean by "Injectors and MAf housing aint needed if you pushing power., cheers bud ur a star :)

No, ive never had a stage 1.

Ive always got R-tech to do my custom maps for me...so stage 2 custom mapped.

When you push power, the stock maf housing becomes restrictive, only allowing about 187g/s of air through it....so you need a bigger housing to flow more air and get adjustments in the ECU.  SAme with the injectors, they are on max duty cycle at 235ish bhp.

Oh, need a good fuel pump too.


Pickles....Nope....precess of ellimination really with vagcom.  Dremel or a good file will be enough.

you got 235 bhp out a stage 2 map do u mean, surely this is a bit low, ive heard of ppl squeezing 230-240 with a stage 1 map

Stage 1 k03s is typcially 210-225.

Its VERY hard to push over 230bhp without a actuator on.

Plus stage 2 tends to get more area under the graph and work on getting a nice smooth graph.  Peak figures are only good for the pub
