stilletto's Thread ..again

Impressive. Were you ever running just a stage one APR tune? What was that like?
Stage two only requires the addition of a downpipe, correct?

I worded that incorrectly. I bought the car stock but had it flashed to Stage 1 the very same day. So when I wrote PRETUNE I really meant PRE STAGE 2. Yeah, Stage 2 consists of an added Downpipe and I believe slight timing changes.

Sorry for all the questions, I appreciate the feedback. Flirting with 40 miles per gallon on the stage one tune is nothing to sneeze at.

93oct from Shell or BP. Stage 1 HO (High Torque), which is why my Clutch took a dump and I drove normally.

I've already run into a snag. Can't mount the new intercooler without custom brackets that run through the crash beam channels. Obviously not running a beam, so this is gonna take some thinking.

Sold the DSM to a close friend that's been begging since I bought it. Sucks I didn't get to do much with it, but that's more cash set aside for the MK7.

Dooooood. I really wanted to see you get that thing running nicely. Probably a smart choice though.

Assuming this dude don't blow it up like his last few, you'll see some shots. It's really hard owning two cars. I told myself I'd be done with the GTI after going Stage 2, but that didn't happen.. I also want another car. Still want a WRX Wagon, or an IS300.. rough.
