Stage 1 vs stage 2 - cost, gains

[nermal]

Looks like Racingline worked with VW Australia to build a "track ready", "Stage 3" Arteon with 360kW, 600Nm and 0-100km/h in 3.9 seconds (?"on an uphill straight"..."consistently"?)

I remember reading about this one, but didn't realize it was Racingline: VOLKSWAGEN CHOOSES RACINGLINE

Yes you can, adds up very quick.

adds up quick if your overspending on parts u dont really need for the build to go fast. its sort of overkill to protect the tuner / builder and ur the one paying for it..

I still think u can get stage 3 fun for 10 - 15k max

If you read the room, people are not interested putting the cheapest possible no-name parts in their cars.

Sure, everything can be done cheaper. Keen for you to get a Stage 3 for 10k fully installed and let us know how it goes after a year.

I spent a lot of years in the JDM tuning scene and people think they are clever zip tying front mounted ebay intercoolers with pvc piping, but it always catches up with them.

You were passionately arguing people should buy the Chinese ebay knockoff 'wanger' intercooler a few days ago.

I can only guess you've dropped into the Arteon area recently because the other sub-forums have stopped listening.

Exactly - many people are happy to spend the extra coin on quality parts or a comprehensive "one-stop-shop" package... drive in, drive out.

we're talking about tuning / builds and costs here mate. if you have nothing to offer to the thread or you have a problem with something im saying and want to try and put words into my keyboard then you should log out u donkey.

25k stage 3 build can easily minus the big brake kit 5- 6k (only need upgraded discs and track pads) , overkill clutch packs on an already strong 7 speed ... another 3k+ and forged internals another 3k+

gets u down to 15k or less... start adding no name parts that do the same job or better... ur going even less.

But please.. you know everything because you were In the JDM scene and u saw some zip ties...

Personally I would pay more for a quality proven part that I know will do the job, I learnt early in life . Do it once do it properly. If I wanted cheap fun I'd have gone stage 2 but I want to get my car into a certain bracket (10's) so i'll pay for quality proven parts that will last years & the fun will pay for itself. Just my view from modding cars for half my life.
