Im looking at coming back to a vRS at the moment. Ill be doing it very diffrently to my last stage 2+ one though. This time it needs to look and sound as OEM as possible.

K04 turbo & Injectors, S3 Intercooler, stock intake, stock exhaust (precat removed) and a custom map from the likes of APR or R-TEC. Easy 300-315Hp; no noise and low cost and a damn sight less stressful on the engine than a K03 Stage 2+ setup. (Think stage 1 Ed30 setup).

then:

Superpro front/rear ARBs, Superpro bushes, superpro adjustable ball joints, ground control adjustable top mounts, 360mm B7 Audi RS4 twin pots(these look OEM still) and a LSD but on stock suspension lol

All with the aim of it looking and sounding 100% OEM, but with the ability to really shock people on track.

Loba 4xx turbo

After chatting with a few tuners regarding this, some who have competitive products, so obviously back their own abbove the LOBA, others who have no affiliation or reason to back one or the other, only professional experience of tuning the 2.0TFSI. The thing is, all of them seem to think the same thing. This turbo will suffer with high EGTs and would not recommend it over the likes of a GT spec turbo even if it is "bolt on". The mian prob is the manifold, which even on a K04 at stage 2+ is a limiting factor for EGTs. Plus REVO who were going to be providing a tune for this and were all over FB about how good the figures were, suddenly just pulled the plug before releasing any software. Why would they do that is my question? Ppersonally i think the LO400 is the better option.

Stasis brake kit

Thing is with stasis is that you pay horrendous scene tax. Much cheaper and equally as good to go with something from the likes of VAGBremtechnik who are producing lots of kits at the moment using brembo, AP etc etc

Mine:

Step 1 - Sell Fabia VRS

Step 2 - Buy Octavia VRS.

Hmm, let me see...

Front 352mm 6-pot BBK

Rear 320mm 4-pot BBK

Stage 2 Revo tune

3" DP with DPF delete

Tow bar

Carbon fibre roof vinyl

Gloss black half sides (middle up) vinyl

Carbon fibre interior vinyl

550Nm clutch

Bi-modal muffler w/ remote control

Hidden aerial for phone (replace big white one on bonnet)

18x8.0 track wheels

Litec LED tail lights

Alibaba headlights

Bi-xenon low beam projectors

Custom made AuSkoda front/rear badges. ;)

Black suede dash/door drim replacing that vinyl stuff thats on all the soft-touch, and the matching rear doors (no soft touch though :()

And if I can find a suitable system;

Airbags with a ±50mm below stock drop on low and higher than stock on high
