Think the overall spec is uprated intercooler, full exhaust system (inc. downpipes and cats), cold air induction system (air intake), and a 4 bar fuel pressure regulator.

Recommend you upgrading your DV and turbo intake pipe too. And your dogbone mount.

Aside front handling mods I think you also need a 4bar FPR and Front mount intercooler to make the most of a stage 2 map.

What car do you have?

AFAIK only Revo needs the 4 bar FPR i know P-Tourque doesn't. also have a search this question comes up alot.

yep heard that as well with only revo requiring the 4bar FPR

My bad. I was told that I needed one and assumed it was the same for other mappers.

Bigger intercooler is also optional depending on mapper (but most recommend it) so you could get stage 2 now if you wanted.

wow ... thanks guys, its great being part of Seatcupra.net ;D ... i have an '06 FR MK1 ... i already have a FMIC and Forge DV on order so that leaves the dog bone mount which i heard are very helpful, what does the fuel pressure regulator do? since its come up.

Thanks again guys

The FPR allows the fuel system to deliver more pressure; 4 bar instead of 3 bar.

On the Leon Cupra and Cupra R a 3 bar FPR was fitted as standard, whereas the Audi S3 1.8T (2000>2005 - basically same engine as Cupra R) had a 4 bar. Many of us changed them over in the old days, but reading others posts not so sure they do it now.

Revo used the 4 bar FPR as part of their upgrade kit to supply more fuel, but I'm surprised none of the other companies need it if that is the case. Is the Revo code that much more aggressive?

Other cheap mods, Audi TT vented archliners and an Audi S3 strut brace. Less than £100, jobs a good'un!

True. LCR has larger injectors than LC so 4 bar fpr is not required for stage 2
