quick stage 2 question
« on: 26 October 2008, 11:08 »
what is needed, on revo site it just says:

An aftermarket performance exhaust system
A 4 bar fuel pressure regulator   (??? anyone have one of these?)
An optional aftermarket diverter valve
And a Revo SPS   (whats this? the switch?)

so basically, what is a MUST for a stage 2... do you HAVE to have an aftermarket zorst.... i know its a good idea and will limit performance without... but surely you can still have the stage2 tuning?

basically asking, because i probably will get the revo remap offer Vtec has sorted out. but when it comes to zorst time... having to go back to have a fwe tweeks for stage 2 is a bit of a pain...

The list you have given there Steve is for the 1.8T engine (4 bar etc).. The stage 2 for the TFSI just requires that you have a TBE (Milltek for example)..
I wouldn't advise having it without..

I ran Stg II on my first Octy for quite some miles without a TBE just a CAT Back.

No it won't do any harm IMHO, but you won't get peak gains.  Why do you want stage II?

Assuming, from your first post, you are going for REVO, you pay for stage II no matter when you buy it.

So Stage 1 is £499 and stage 2 is £50, straight to stage 2 would still be £549.  (all plus VAT)

agreed. but was going to see if the guy Vtec has got to do the £400 offer would do it cheaper too..

what is stage 2 exactly, different tuning or map all together?... i mean... if i bought a select plus switch could i theoretically tune it to stage 2 myself?
