Stage 2 what turbo?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Hey all, I drive a 1.8t gti 03 revo stage 1 with a gfb dv, ramair intake and a 3inch custom cat back. I know I need a downpipe for stage 2 but is there anything else required for stage 2 as I'm new to the vw world. Also Is there anyone in Melbourne south east area that can help install a boost gauge ?

Ko3 I believe
Hmmm where's Gavin? Haha
I'm not sure if stage 2 on the k03 is actually worth it as the performance gain from the mild tune difference won't match the price you pay for it.
I would be aiming for a bigger turbo. K03s is an easy step up. I went this route and I think it's excellent.
K04 or bigger requires additional parts.
If you want to stay with your k03, I would get the downpipe and install it, see how it feels.
Btw you should have a go at installing the boost gauge, its very achievable. If you need advice just ask.
I want to stay ko3 as it is daily driven but also would like to get the most power out of it.
I did get a stage 1 tune before the intake and exhaust, do I need a retune or something ?
I've seen vid of how to install a boost gauge, looks easy apart from the wiring which I have little to no knowledge about.
Dont know if Gavs going go tune any more mk4s unless they are converted go me.7 ecu set up
I think you will find that a stage 1 tune would be pushing the k03 to its limits.
You will notice a fair difference with the down pipe install, staying with stage 1 tune.
If you want a complete custom tune on the AGU, its going to cost you a small fortune.
What's a stage 2 tune worth? $600? I would suggest saving your money if your going to retain the k03.

im sure gavin would happily pump a 20min .flash slot down in his busy schedule to provide this service to anyone still!
