To go stage 2?

Fitted so far

Pd160 intake

Front mount intercooler

Sports decat

Piper cat back exhaust

Panel filter

So am I right in saying all I need is a performance clutch then I can get a stage 2 map?

You could get a stage 2 map on a standard car, theirs no "set list" but the more modifications you have, the more the car would benefit from a stage 2 map. What power you ideally looking for?

Uprated clutch / flywheel

And hybrid turbo

Stage 2 is different turbo

I would be happy with 200 really.

Never went down this route with a car before so learning as I go

Stages are normaly just what tuning companies list there different level of mods at, so some class stages do different to others.

I agree though a hybrid, clutch and new map will take you to mosts stage 2 level.

standard turbo. . 200bhp. . doubt it'll even do it. . . . if it does it'd go bang pretty quickly. . .about 175 bhp is on the limits for a pd130.

Hybrid turbo then?

Yeah stock turbo is pretty much maxxed at 175bhp

The mods you have will offer very little bhp gain but they will make the car have that prolonged 175bhp ish for as long as possible (especially the fmic)

Cheers guys. Would it be worthwhile getting a Map just now until I have enough money saved for a new turbo then?

For what you've done you might as well wait for a bigger turbo or uprated clutch before you go for a map.

if 175 is max on pd130 why are there some guys on here claiming 185/190bhp? they claim dyno sheets or are they themselves full of sheets lol

Dyno lottery.
