    stage 2 + cupra

    r-tech custom map to get the very best out of your mods ;) but a Revo or Apr maps are very good as said,ive ran an Apr stage 2+ map in my K1 and was savage,a really torquey map as now my revo map is quite linear power wise

    bored over the weekend so wrapped the revo pipe in heat tape and exhaust wrap then cleaned and re-oiled the filter bum dyno,the car felt a bit more responsive so worth the £20 outlay fitting of the new hubs this week

    Expected BHP Stage2+

    very good advice by dan ive been Apr/Revo and custom tunes in the past and most stage 2+ are 350-370 bhp on the best flowing mods you can buy standard clutch is scary even on stage 2 must be low torque based,stage 2+ full fat will kill it lol
