....I was there all morning :afro:. There weren't any really long calls while I was with Kev and Carl, but Kev and I were out playing with our toys cars for a while.

Are you finding Stage2 more 'aggressive' or just as smooooth as Stage1? (Yours is an Ed30 isn't it?)

Yes mate..
Little more aggressive, but not hugely. Still haven't had a massive play in it yet, so hard to say. Will know more by monday as doing a few miles in her over the next few days..
I rang Kev in the morning and they said he was out in a customers car..  :grin: It was in the afternoon that I spoke with Carl.

How you getting on with the map Gaz? Any comparisons with Apr stage 1? Or is it hard to gauge with them being different cars/4WD etc?

Impressed mate, don't think there's much in it between the 2 to be honest. Its very smooth at the minute, think i'll get more boost dialled in 2 morra when it gets set-up properly :smiley:

Im getting a slight screech noise from the car when under load from around 4000 rpm to 4300rpm, its like a short screech noise, not loud but you can hear it. I only get it when i put my foot down from low revs. The noise is only there for a few 100 rpm then there is no noise right up to the redline. If i gradually build up the revs i dont get the noise, even when revving it stood still i dont hear it. Car has been doing it since the map, it hasnt been driven that hard either as the weather has been rubbish. Not sure what to do as quattronics is really far. Would any revo dealer have a look at it?
Sorry to hijack your thread ben, congrats on the stage 2 mate :wink:

LOL.. Sounds like the old turbo noise worry..
I and most people get this mate after mapping a VAG turbo engine. Had the same noise with my LCR. It's just the turbo as it is now running more boost. Does it start off quiet-ish at really low revs then get louder then disappear once at high revs? Sounds like (although it's hard to describe) a deep (low pitch) turbo whistle yeah?
If it is what I think it is, it's nothing to worry about at all. I'm sure Red or one of the other mapped boys will be along to confirm this soon...  :wink:
Other than that, how you enjoyin it mate?

Its really hard to explain, just from 4-4300 its a bit like a deep turbo whistle/screech, car seems fine and pulls really well so i dont think its losing power. When corey put the map on he plugged the laptop in and found no fault codes even after a spirited run when checking the car was running ok. So the car should be fine but cant help but worry about it.
Ben if your on the blackpool run i'll show you then :smiley:

Might order a milltek catback today non res. Will see how it runs then will prob go for the downpipe when i have a little extra spare cash :evil:.
