Just had it done on my 2.0 tfsi sport and jumped from 185 to 260 bhp (not sure on torque tho) and what a difference, feels like a new car :)

print out to prove this?

that seems like a massive improvement! anything else done, or rest fully oem?
saying that though, i hear alot of people getting around 60 extra ponies and 100 extra FtLb just from a Stage one with pipercross filter!

i CAN NOT wait for mine to get done in teh new year :D

no just going by the revo figures and what i was told at the garage. Its the same as the fr but the fr is 200 stock bhp to 260, dunno why there is a discrepency of 15 to start with tho.

apart from that ive had nothing else done to affect the power. intercooler, fuel pump and intake kit next, once you start you cant stop lol, my mrs is screwing!

yeah i am thinking about going Revo! because of their gains! but without print outs, its putting me off! so im going to have to pay extra for before and after runs :(
id hate to say, yaaay 260...then go to the rollers and have 235 lol. id rather know 100%

certainly having it done though!

how much difference has just a stage one made to your normal driving conditions?
when i do mine, i will upgrade the DV and Panel filter and FMIC or maybe an intake like ITG.

just cant justify paying the extra for the milltek when the stock system sounds pretty nice anyway! and i could always cut out and weld up the mid silencer box if i want to make it non res!

Should get it on the rollers really, new year maybe. But it's pretty mental tbh spesh in low & mid range, does seem to tail off a bit but I guess that's the k03. I'm not sure about the other stuff u mentioned, do they alter performance much? (I'm pretty new to all this and a bit dense about cars lol)

tbh, the vag engines arnt the easiest to understand - and comming from being a biker and N/a cars im new to turbo performance myself!

obviously some sort of uprated intake will be an improvement, and so will a front mount! but dont expect big gains from the FM - power wise it could add a few torques but it would smoothen the power curve out and keep intake temps cooler! which is always the advantage!

ive seen alot of people get good gains without doing anything other than a stage 1 map or a custom map! i just want that little bit more, but not the next stage up 1+ or a full 2! as im not fussed about the exhaust!

lets argue the map will see 260, with a good intake, and FMIC, id expect another 15 approx.
which, is pretty damn fast for a 5 door "family" wagon. id love to see a mapped LCR! i really would!

doubt you will see 260 with no other supporting modifications, maybe 245bhp on the FR but I am sure the sport has a more restrictive exhaust system hence less power...

What are you sporting mate?

am, im fully OEM! i plan on getting a Forge Twintercooler, and either a EVOMs or ITG intake kit. and then stage 1 map to suit. make sure the DV has been upgraded to a Rev'd or a forge DV kit as the extra boost damages the oem one.

doubt you will see 260 with no other supporting modifications, maybe 245bhp on the FR but I am sure the sport has a more restrictive exhaust system hence less power...

see, this is what ive always thought. i have the 197 FR - and revo claim another 60 ponies but i still think thats rather high! 45 i would expect!

id be happy to see 45-60 extra with my above list of to do. and expect a few more torques too!
but its not all about how much peak power it has, as thats rarely used as its at any given RPM and that specific gear. its more about the deliver and application of the new power which is what i will be more impressed with!

I thought the same re: the exhaust, but the performance increase was well worth the money IMO - I paid almost £1k :( Now they Milltek non-res with sports cat is over £1k I believe :blink:. You should be able to pick up a 2nd had Milltek from someone on here or the MK5 Golf GTI forum.

if i was to fit the exhaust, evoms and FMIC myself, would it suit a stage one map or would i have to get the stage two, at extra cost? im not too clused up on how they map these days.
or are stages pretty much decided on what parts you are running ?
if i could get a cheap turbo back from somewhere id be interested ;) ;) people! we have PM system for a reason.

but i am looking at getting the cupra R valance fitted to my FR with the OEM back box. and then just a basic map. im not after big power gains tbh... just something better than stock. so im not massivly fussed about the final output.

Just pop a request in your signature for an exhaust mate. Or head over to the Golf GTI forums where selling is still permitted. I know Pat from here who had a Stage 2+ Cupra has/had his decat d/p for sale and a non-res cat back section.

With regards to hardware, if you chuck on all that extra hardware you'd have to go to Stage 2 to get the most out of it. If you're already Stage 1 then you'll just have a small upgrade cost. Stage 2 is needed to code out the emissions light that a decat with cause.

You could stick it all on a Stage 1 car with some benefits, but when buying all that hardware the £50-£100 it might cost to got Stage 2 is a no brainer IMO.

Revo claim 260 on stage 1 for the fr and sport but I guess a rolling road would be good

Putrid I had the same sport model as yourself , mods include Revo 2 , pump upgrade , miltek tb exhaust , forge dv , induction kit . Bhp readout was 255 . From reading various posts a down pipe upgrade would help performance after map rather than a full system if funds are tight , also the fuel pump upgrade helped when running stage 2 . Bhp figures are generally bragging rights IMO I would go for overall drivability through out rev range .
