Stage 1 to stage 2 upgrade cost
Hi guys.
What would the upgrade cost be from stage 1 to stage 2?
I would like to get stage 1 done right away and when I'm ready again add a DP and change to stage 2.

Re: Stage 1 to stage 2 upgrade cost
Ya but then I need to do DP and I don't have the cash to do it now.
At least with stage 1 I can have some new found love in my car until I can get the DP.

Yoh ninja edit? I'm quite sure I saw R500 first lol.
Even if it's R700, that would be a better route for me right now.

Re: Stage 1 to stage 2 upgrade cost
The dude from powerflow in Randburg said most of the time they add a cat fooler to dp they do. No need to adjust the software immediatly.Hotdubz wrote:Oh, if I do DP while I have stage 1 then I don't need a cat fooler, correct?

Re: Stage 1 to stage 2 upgrade cost
Or just stick to stage 1... I've driven in both, and I actually prefer stage 1 on our cars with the long ratios, feels more punchy low in the range.

I thought stage 2 adds more midrange punch

Re: Stage 1 to stage 2 upgrade cost
Felt the same in my Mk6 GTI to me. Maybe I'm completely wrong, but stage 1 from pull away felt more "punchy" for lack of a better word, whereas after 4000 rpm stage 2 had more flow so took advantage and the car was definitely faster on top end.Hotdubz wrote:Serious? Please dumb it down for me

I also hate the sound of a 2.0T with just a cat-less downpipe into the stock exhaust, so that's my motivation.

Re: Stage 1 to stage 2 upgrade cost
Eish that's a tough choice. Daily driving I can count the number of times I go over 4000rm. On the other I do love top end.

Re: Stage 1 to stage 2 upgrade cost
Our cars have long ratios dude. Daily driving there's hardly any need to go over 3000rpm. There's plenty of pull low down.Yakuza Racer wrote:wut?ryanrich wrote:Or just stick to stage 1...

My daily driving shifts are around 2200-2500 rpm.

i drive an auto (DSG) it changes gear around the same... why take stage 1 when stage 2 gives you more to offer?Hotdubz wrote:Our cars have long ratios dude.

Go do a search on Mk6 owners forum, it's a feeling shared by many others so I'm not alone in thinking it...Yakuza Racer wrote:wut?ryanrich wrote:Or just stick to stage 1... I've driven in both, and I actually prefer stage 1 on our cars with the long ratios, feels more punchy low in the range.

Re: Stage 1 to stage 2 upgrade cost
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying no to stage 2. I love the idea of it but Ryan has a point too. I spend 90% of my time in traffic. 50% of that is with my son in the car. I don't do any drag events or illegals. So, based on that my head tells me that stage 1 will be sufficient. But, being a petrol head I would love to own a 2.0t stage 2

Maybe I'll do stage 1 and then jump to k04 when I get the chance. All I'll need is turbo, cooler, DP and tune.
