He's a proper devil isn't he. Chanting at you everywhere to sell!!!!!!!!!

Jamjay had a similar issue if I remember correctly. All the stage 2 mods but only a stage 1 map and was experiencing surge. Went to stage 2 and all was fine afterwards.

Im hoping so El the car been really pi$$ing me off lately so hopefully going stage 2 will help :)

Unsure what to do now though....either go to the legend of Bill lol or go Revo which will be closer if i incur any problems

Sell it and move up my friend. You know you want to.

I would love to mate but I was really against borrowing at least £3-£4k when ive just got myself a house. Even though I could afford it because I have a silly low mortgage I just didn't want to risk it & even more so when I really only need to spend £600 on map & intercooler!

Oh you're all devils..... even the main man himself lol!

Bill I was more eager to come to yourself but you are strict man & I best source an intercooler :)

I am strict yep...

I wont take your (or anyone else's) money, to sell you a stage 2 level of tune where you dont have the hardware to support it.... Plenty of others will sell you a stage 2 without fmic, but I wont. cooling is vital on 1.8t engines.. high ait's from stock smic wont help power....

Mods to aid cooling and flow in and out are what helps these cars make good power...

Completely understand Bill and thank you for your honesty as you say others would have sold me stage 2!

Custom map it is :D Just need to sort an FMIC out and I'll be back in contact with you Bill :)

The car currently sitting on axle stands with a view :)

Put it like this before ordering the FMIC because a creek from the Strut Bar was annoying me! The nuts did seem a little loose so I have now tightened these and hope they've cured the creeking. However I'm thinking of removing to powdercoat black?

And whilst I await for the FMIC the Brembos are finally being tackled and I'll be cleaning up the arches.

Unsure who put the cones there!!! (old man no doubt)

However after checking the Brembo stickers they've stuck to the backing paper so can't use them, bit pi$$ed off about that but I have had them for some time in storage, my own fault really for not doing the calipers sooner!!

Spot on mate! :)

Top job done on those Brembo's. Makes such a difference :)

Cheers Tom :)

Can't wait to see them when the wheels go back on but keeping them off so removal of bumper a little easier for the fmic (which I should have tomorrow) :D
