    Depends on your long term goals. If I wanted short term bang for buck

    PD160 + flap mod
    CC phase 1
    Forge 008
    SAI delete
    Superpro LCA bushes
    Vibratechnics mounts, or just the dogbone mount/bush if budget is tight
    Whiteline front sway bar
    KW V1 or other suitable coilovers
    Good set of tyres

    About 4k ish at a guess and you'd have a car with a bit of go, nice stance and good handling.

    I went down the phase 2 path and it adds a few k onto it by the time you've done the exhaust and FMIC.

    On the stage 2 topic, does APR do stage 2 and if so, what mods are needed?

    APR bypasses the exhaust sensor, I believe the tune is the same. The mods do the work, not all mods require coding.

    Question? The tune will work with the added efficiency, but like doing the PD160 does not require a retune and gives great results, similar with the zorst.

    I could be wrong, no one has chimed in to tell me so (yet).

    Technically all mods would work best with retuning, but since we all use generic maps it won't really matter, unless you get a tunable ECU with a custom tune

    Have done some research and there's isn't much available locally stage one Apr is 1450 seems a bit excessive I'm still waiting on hearing back from another place too.

    Custom code, half that price.

    If you don't want to ship your ecu do the flashwire.

    I had a few tunes that I've decided to let go for less, but they're all gone now. However the Christmas special $880 remains till the end of January.
