My mk4 golf has already got a stage 1 map from r tech but I was wondering what else I can do to get better performance , everything else is standard except  the 007p
Recommended air filters ?
Plus when I go 4 a stage 2 in summer what else would I need to change so the car can handle the power better

How deep are your pockets and what power are you after?

[Gary#turbo]

Bout 230 bhp and il be happy
Currently running 185
Pockets are alright

230 can be seen with a k03s so not to much money

From R-Tech:

Stage2 Tuning 225-240 BHP 250-270 LBFT = £290

For stage 2 tuning you will need:
1.   Good quality cold air induction kit or Panel filter
2.   Full turbo back exhaust with 100cell or de cat at least 2.5” bore+
3.   Front mount intercooler with the boost pipes 2.5” or bigger. Not Side mount
4.   Turbo intake pipe (TIP) Not cheap small bore ebays pipes
5.   Forge 007p or OEM ‘N’ Revision diverter valve
6.   N249 bypass
7.   Decent strong actuator Pressure is key to the higher numbers, an actuator with 100+k on it will not make the higher stage2 numbers due to the spring getting weak, where a new oem actuator will do 250+bhp.
8.    Cars with high miles tend to find there original fuel pumps cannot flow or keep up when trying to run stage 2 power, so again might be worth looking at a new oem pump.
9.   Use 3bar fuel reg not a 4bar which kills pumps, if you want more fuel head room then fit TT/LCR 380cc injectors.

As for other mods, they aren't essential really but a spring/shock kit or coilovers will help. 312mm front brake conversions can be had cheaply, front and rear arb's make a huge improvement. There's lots that can be done.

Well these are my plans b4 the stage 2
Ko3s
Induction kit
Fmic
Milltek turbo back
And probably purchase another 007p as I dnt think mine is any good lol

you might want to add a downpipe to that list

This is the info I need ! Thanks man 
Any recommended induction kits?
Fmic ?
I heard the n249 bypass can't be done on a agu engine ?
