Interesting that the turbo upgrade works ok with the standard downpipe, albeit with reduced power but uber stealthy!

I missed that bit - didn't realise it was just a Cupra/Clubsport turbo.

yes it is just the R turbo, very much like what unitronic have been doing for a while but i would be interested in how much they are charging, i don't believe its worth it on a gti but maybe on a 1.8...

Ok a few months back to stage2 and the clutch is starting to slip :( so this...http://www.awesomegti.com/sachs-performance-clutch-kit-for-volkswagen-golf-mk7-gti is going on next week at Shark, will let you know how it effects drivability etc

Personally i'd also change the stock dmf for new one at the same time

Meh I know it would make sense but I have Xmas and new tyres still kicking my ass in terms of my bank balance and considering it's only a light slippage occasionally in 5th and 6th, I'm hoping the rest is ok :)

How's the stage 2 holding up Graham? I've got mine booked in for the 19th! Are you the only Mk7 gti with sharks stage 2 map?

Holding up a lot better than it should tbh I cancelled the clutch as since ordering it it's stopped slipping. I can't work out if it just happens when I carry passengers or I'm told it could be a small leak on the plate. Either way I managed to easily fend off a S5+ this morning (assume the plus badge meant he was mapped and tbf it wasn't that easily but I emerged victorious :) ) so the clutch clearly still has some life left in it.

As for other stage 2 ers I'd say they're pretty scarce. A few trade people and a few overseas but people are quite warranty conscious when it comes to physical changes especially on the vw side of the stable it seems.

What hardware are you going for?
