Letting everyone know Awesome have informed me that the long awaited APR Stage 2 remap is now available.
I assume the minimum air intake kit/exhaust system are required for this upgrade.
Woohoo can't wait. Finally I can make use of the exhaust system and the intercooler

just phoned awesome and spoken to andy about getting booked in for stage 2 after the intercooler is fitted,
but they are not aware that the software is actually available yet????????
who was it that you spoken to fly?
however even if it is available, the minimum upgrades are exhaust, better air intake and filter upgrade and the front mount

fantastic, nice one, sounds good to me, any sort of indications what power output will be with the mods we have, as we have all but the same setups

I have asked for more information for educational purposes

. Will post asap I have a reply.
I think it just smooths out the map, and optimizes timing/fuel. Perhaps a small power increase. I should hope we'd get 230bhp-240bhp with FMIC's.

I think the minimum is exhaust/air filter/intake and perhaps a dv too. I guess someone's heading off now

just back from there now with mine and its far better, its so much smoother and linear, yet still raw and aggressive
theres bags more low down punch too, and giving it beans and finished with a 15 mile motorway journey and it averaged 34.2 mpg, very respectable too
basic necessities for the stage 2 is a high flow downpipe and cat and air filter improvements, fmic is not needed, but will help further

U all done Jeff! Whats the power like too?? Do ya think it would be ok to get mine done then get the exhaust a bit later, am just desperate to get it on!! Do the cats need done too or just a down pipe?

i personally would do it the right way, as the bigger higher flowing exhaust can clear gasses better, meaning there is no backing up of pressure going in to the engine
as for the cat and downpipe, the milltek downpipe comes with the cat, so i replaced all of it and the rest of the exhaust too, so i really cant comment on that for yours buddy, im sorry
however it goes like a stink now, cant wait for the 7th to get the fmic on too, im told with that on it will be like driving on a cold day every day, with far lower intake and outlet temps
cant be bad, i would estimate with the forge hoses, forge fmic, turbo back milltek, better induction and stage 2 to be roughly 230 - 240 bhp, and well over 200 at the wheels
