Where are you guys getting the work done? I'm thinking of going for the stage 2 95 RON remap...

APR, unless there are better options? I assumed this would best suit the map...

It will be one that APR have suggested (Scorpion I believe, I had a full Ti system of theirs before and I liked it)

i would look to get a full turbo back system but can't see why the milltek is so much more on the 1.8 tsi over the 1.4 tsi (according to prices on awesome gti site)

i would go custom but would need it to work with the map well

Car is in right now having the remap applied, fingers crossed this time for success!

Damn, I need to wait till 4!

Ah - hope you get some success this time too

Map is on - feels a lot better now!

Pulls harder for sure, took a few miles to really feel it but definitely feels stronger. 5th feels like 4th. Traction aside it feels pretty close to the golf r when it is standard for pulling power, not off the line of course because the traction is not too good!

Not bad for a Polo with little money spent on it!

Mines is getting put on the dyno shortly

Glad you're happy with it!! Do you have any figures?

The thing that appeals to me with the Stage 2 map and downpipe combination is the complete retention of the stock appearance (I'm nearly 30 after all). Frankly the ONLY other mod' I plan on doing to the car is putting some proper tyres on it. Price isn't really an issue - far more fussed about value which for me comes from quality as much as price. I certainly won't be fitting any old crap to my car, so happy to hear opinions on which components are best.

Would I really be missing a trick not going for a full exhaust system and just getting the downpipe?

As a second (and slightly related question) can the APR map be installed so that it is only activated when the Sport button is pushed? Just thinking it might be a nice touch...

Lastly, do any of you guys with (or soon to be with) the APR map have DSG gearboxes? Are you / would you be overly concerned getting it on a DSG car?
