Golf R - APR Stage II+

[weewilly]

Nothing wrong with the old "pump and dump at the same time".....the R's love it!

Fab, have you shared with this motley crew the cost of your stage 2 upgrade? or is that question not appropriate. I've searched through and can't see the amount.

High Pressure Fuel Pump pricing on manufacturers site here.
Several different companies make differing types and quality downpipes, which also include a motorsports/hi-flow catalytic converter ("test pipes" without a cat are illegal in Australia, but also can be purchased).
Several different companies make "Stage II" ECU tunes, which are usually a few hundred more than the cost of their Stage I ECU tunes. If you have the fuel pump, you need a Stage II+ tune.

Is it possible to run just a HPFP without Stage II+, will it make a difference with only Stage1?

Hey Capercat, a update to the Stage 1 tune is required when running the APR HPFP...

[Corey_R]

Yep... so you'd need to be running Stage I+
hehe

You can also use the HPFP without any software (+ or otherwise), but it just won't make any difference.

I still don't get this stage talk lol..... By a GTR or an RX7 or an S15 and they don't talk in stages....?? :S

Maybe it's a legacy of the Gran Tourismo generation

Well same with muscle cars (they talk staged cams) but pretty sure every VE SS with and intake exhaust and tune doesn't claim to be a stage 2 commodore?

ah wells....

LOL. When you hitting the track?

Stages are mentioned because APR sells kits in stages like a lot of other companies that do off the shelf upgrade kits.

thanks for the info..
hence your reasoning behind no stage 1 tune, go right to stage 2 tune with hardware, right....
