Going stage 2 :). Couple of questions

Featured Replies

Hi all,

quick intro as this is my first post. Names james from north london area with a candy white/black roof fabia vrs.

Had it a month now and love it. Only regret is not getting one sooner than I did.

So as I said im now taking the plunge and going stage 2. Im getting a custom exhaust system made and a custom remap.

still undecided on the induction side of things. I know forge and itg induction kits are proven bhp gain but are there any alternatives to these? I have seen threads on the revo and k&n replacement filter but has anyone tried the itg one? Perhaps the standard airbox modified with a scoop like the forge kit, big bit of plastic removed and itg replacement filter? This is just an idea.

I know very few have gone stage 2 so far so if any of you got some advice would be much appreciated and also what sort of bhp and torque you guys have achieved.

Thanks for your time,

james

have a look in the shark performance section, a mk2 has had a stage 2 done, and welcome im from essex too

Going to be some fast Fabias in Essex. :D

I had a look over in shark area. See janners thread and thats his is a modded exhaust where as mine will be completely custom. Be interesting to see the differences aswell. Cant decide if I should keep the standard twin look or go for an oval tip.

custom map from who? be aware that there are ECU encryptions on the mk2 vRS's so tuning via the OBDII port is not an option.

Ill have my Forge intake fitted at the end of the month. Im also in coms with a custom intercooler manufacturer and am in the process of having a new radiator and intercooler developed.

Have a look at this >>link<< for loads of 1.4TSIU tuning info. (im vRSy on there)

alot of the revo guys on seatcupra net seem to be having issues with engine managment lights, another revo guy had his piston melt as his injector wsnt spraying enough fuel.

Ill have my Forge intake fitted at the end of the month
same here , hope i can get it TÜV aproved over here in Germany

I also noticed that the VRS Grill is closed in the upper section , i might open it inbetween the "spokes" so the airflow is eased

back again. sorry for such delay been away for 3 weeks.

the remap is going to be done by a local tunning company called perfect touch. their quite well known on the subaru and skyline scene and also deal in very high end cars. only thing is they will need my car for a few days but thinks its worth it for the custom map.

cant decide if i should just get a custom downpipe and retain standard back box and put the saved money to some coilovers or just get the whole sytem done at once.

has anyone tried out the forge recirculation kit yet? assuming someone must have had it tested on their car.

Keep us updated with this mate as Perfect Touch isn't too far from me and I'd like to see what they can do

Yea will do. Was there talking with Claudio today. Defo can do it but as i said would need it for few days first time round but each time after will be an hour or so.

Bit closer to the time I'll see if there's a Chance of discount if few of us get it done.

Where abouts you from dude??

Letchworth in Herts

Id def go for the itg as they are leaps and bounds better than everything else

I'm from loughton so not million miles away. Would be nice to see another vrs. Not seen one round my way yet.

I would like the Itg but thing is where it recieves its feed from the inner wing. Could get the carbon fibre one with a slam panel but its 300 quid plus. Looking at possibilities of a twin feed like the forge one for the cupras and if its overkill or not.
