Stage one is about £400 right?

I cannot find prices for the stage two, how much would just the remap set you back, as ano you would have to spend a good 1.5k on other parts

You can go stage one with just a remap with is around the £250 mark. Everything thins else is just supporting mods to help out, eg air filter/ induction and a 007/008 DV

Stage 2 is again another remap probably around the same price but requires you to have an upgraded exhaust, eg miltek full system. This is because the down pipe is bigger I believe most tuners will say that stage 2 will require a FMIC too, so stage 2 is where it gets expensive

To upgrade to stage 2 from stage 1 is only £50 odd. That's what I did, I think its just an adjustment in the map upping the fueling, hence the 4bar fuel pressure regulator.

I totally agree with the fuel thing, it shouldnt matter.

But it is only a front wheel drive car and adding more bhp will force you to set up the car properly to put the power down which costs money obviously.

I have just bought a 2004 subaru impreza wrx sti (I know its not to everyones taste but its just an example) it is 260 bhp but because of weight is only a little bit faster then my stage 1+ polo gti. But and its a big BUT, it handles amazingly better than my polo and puts down the power all the time. It has not spun the wheels yet while accelerating. Basically its just miles better than the polo... The point I am making is this subaru cost less than my polo did, so if you are looking for a better car buy something like this maybe...? it will be cheaper than modding your current car to go faster and it will respond SO MUCH better to modding if you wanted to. Just a remap will take it to 300bhp.

yes but also a scooby will cost oover 7k for me to insure just for a year, if i could afford to run and buy and evo or scooby i would , am only 20, and insurance is the only thing stopping me from getting a proper fast high performance car, cheaper for me to insure a GTI with all Stage 2 and mods then to insure a standard golf 2.0TDI, :S (don't ask how, i have no idea) never mind a AWD performance beast ,

insurance is one thing mankind will never understand

As soon as you turn 21 swap to Greenlight. All mods declared for stage 2 on my is £800 for the year, I'm 21. Said if I stay with them upto 23 or so they would probably insure me on an Evo for £1100 (fq340)

I am only 20 and have a Subaru when you are 21 it will be okay to insure.

Not everyone is in the same boat insurance wise though so its a tough one, i agree its one thing ill never understand

20 and a scooby f**k, i wish it was that easy for me to insure a scooby in my area , it still well over a grand to insure my 1.2 atm, waiting till my 3rd year is up in june, and hopefuly a GTI will be same as my 1.2 now haha fingers crossed
