I know the new OEM one is meant to be uprated but surely an OEM vs a Forge there is no question - I wouldn't risk it with a stage 2 - stage 1 you might get away with it

What is that based on?

Stage 1 I ran a standard actuator and it wasn't up to the job (unknown amount of time it had been on the car), upgraded to a forge (green spring) ran ok, needed a yellow spring for the stage 2 as it wouldn't keep it closed, so its based on my own events and circumstances nothing else.

I thought the standard engine wanted 98RON anyway?

Putting 95RON in a stage 2 car? Madness I tell you!  :laugh:

Higher octane fuel needs to be run for a few tank fulls to allow the ECU to adapt

Why put 95 RON in a stage 2 car, thought the idea behind stage 2 was to get the best out of your car. 95Ron OK for completely standard car and generic map, just my opinion.

With 95 on a 98RON map it will retard the ignition timing creating a hotter mix and less power...

I had mine stage 2 mapped by R-tech on 99 last year and they told me it's not safe for the engine to put 95 in anymore.

James. If you don't mind me asking, what is your spec, and what results did you get at r tech?

The fuel debate is surely obvious. Vpower is the only option. Miles to tank it works the same. I got mine mapped on the ko3 on supermarket fuel. Big regret as now I use vpower, it's not at it's best. No logged through VCDS and not a sign of knock.  Ports and valves are nice and clean too.

If I have to use supermarket fuel I unplug the. N75

Milltek 2.5" cat back with discreet tailpipes & 2.5" decat downpipe
PVC simplification (N249 delete, SAI delete) and oil catch can install
Forge 008p
Forge silicone TIP
Forge wastegate actuator
THS front mounted intercooler & high flow pancake pipe
VR6 clutch & G60 flywheel
Cold air induction kit with K&N cone filter
NGK Iridium spark plugs

They put a few extras on as well, like launch control, linear throttle and a switchable map with 5 different settings, it's pretty cool and had no problems at all in the year and a bit that I've had it.
