Is the stage 2 remap considered the one to go for? If so (I've asked this before but can't find the thread!) how much is the approximate cost and increase in power? And is there a huge difference between this and "the next one up?"

Thanks

Think you need high flow cats and a less restrictive exhaust for stage 2 but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Nope that's stage 3 I think.

I have stage 2 on mine and it's really quite impressive!

Stage 2 does need high flow air filters though.

Your best bet is just to get in touch with them and see what they recommend. I got in touch with them recently and thought they were really good on the advice side of things.

P.s. Stage 2 is 730bhp/1000nm-ish with air filters and is about £1000. Sport cats, turbo-back exhaust and stage 3 might take this up to 800bhp.at maybe £4-5000.

Beyond that you're into awfully big money with new turbos etc.

With any of the options the biggest problem you'll have is a lack of runways wink

I have stage 2.

Good enough for most people!!...believe me.


Stage two needs high flow air filters.

I also have custom exhaust with rear silencers only.

722bhp 899nm.

Quick enough for UK roads for sure....although I've heard MRC now have even freeer flowing filters and a new map tweak that will get you even more!!
