Taking it a stage further, there's a larger front-mounted intercooler that can be fitted and repositioning of the divertor valve along with complete K04 turbo upgrades (that's used in the ED30 and S3) utilising a S3 components. If you're going to upgrade your turbo, you may as well go for an aftermarket one.

Where does one stop!? Very addictive stuff this modding....
It certainly is addictive, but fun.

How much power and torques do you get from a stage 2 Jon?

Power will be up by around 10/15%, so probably around 280bhp and torques in the region of 310/320 I would estimate.

I would think you'll be nearer 250-260BHP max, 280BHP seems a bit optimistic. My GTI had REVO stage 2 with a full Supersprint and was around the 240-250 mark!

I haven't put my car on a rolling road as yet, but am confident I easily have 240/250bhp with the stage 1 + Milltek, so disagree with you. Revo Stage 2 will definately produce more than what you are suggesting.

Oh dear, so you're guessing then!?!

The fact that mine was RR'd puts me in a slightly stronger position.

One thing that I haven't taken into account is that the Golf GTI is the fastest car in the world.......

When you have some proper evidence, let me know.

I know your desperate to see the dyno results come back to a mere 240/250bhp, but what I don't understand is why, and why would it bother you so much to get so patronising about the whole matter. Strange . As you say, I'll keep you posted.
