Jesus, there's some right boring sods here today isn't there?
If you don't see the appeal of having more power in a car, I suggest you get on the bus.

I see the appeal of more power, more power is good.
As standard though I think the power level is perfectly judged for the brakes, chassis etc.. I'd be looking at upgrading other things as well as the BHP.
No, the Cupras won't take full throttle in 1st, but they do in 2nd, they have a fancy 'diff' that the 1.8 doesn't have that helps hugely. I personally feel awd would ruin the car.

Tuning isn't my thing these days, what does the Stage 2 consist of? It's good power.
Completely agree re the weight penalty vs a Golf R. My mate has a 7R that's standard, it gets off the line like a ******* but it does feel substantially less punchy on the road moving.

Updated file? Is that the jb4 ? What mods are you running?

I'm in the process of stage 2ing on a manual 290 sc
Will say for the money I could understand people staying at stage one with the performance it gives my dyno is below
I'm having this work carried out
Sachs performance or race clutch no decided as the race will bed and drive like an organic clutch so not just, on, off price £570 + £70 for uprated bearings £600 for race clutch
Uprated Revo intercooler £600
Uprated Revo engine/torque mounts £90
Turbo sports-cat milltek downpipe and full exhaust system price and fitting £1600.
Top figures between 410-420bhp at the fly wheel

Did you uprate your DSG box or you on a lower torque APR map I saw the uprated DSG internals like £1700

huh go figure! though i was on the bluefin site, have i got my wires crossed!? 26bhp increase blimey. I guess that would ruin the economy
Unfortunately I'm old enough to remember when tuning meant slapping a pair of twinchoke Webers on and a Janspeed exhaust
Oh yes, my Escort RS2000 sounded and drove superbly though would be so slow I guess compared to my Cupra today.
