I was thinking in that order swell! Really want my map. I was trying to decide on Revo or APR. I decided on APR as they are my closest dealer at TuningWerkes and I had the software on my polo gti 1.8t and was very pleased with it! Think I need a Revo trial to decide and go from there!

Thanks for all the welcomes again guys!

Hate to pi$$ on your parade, but the ED30/Standard GTI brakes are the total ****e.

If you're thinking about power mods, you should really consider braking upgrades...

id say dont buy silly pumped up priced packages, ur better waiting ur time or shopping around for individual low prices and play the companies off, forget the S3 intercooler go for a forge twintake or even look into a THS big cooler their similar to the APR but sensibly priced i think APR are chancers and far too expensive !

plus if your going for that stage 2 package then youd want a stage 2+ map as ur getting all the right parts for it,

price everything up individually
milltek TBE
Autotech HPFP (APr is very expensive even my car runs the Autotech)
Evoms intake (theres better on the market and cheaper)plenty guys on here are selling intakes
Forge twintercooler
and a Revo S2+ map
i bet u can get all that for less than 3.2k and the toughest thing to fit is the zaust

gime a pm if u need a hand

Well guys! I thoughT I'd let you all know that I've decided to go for Revo!! After having a long chat with an APR customer they have said if you looking to stay stage 1 the APR but, If your looking to go stage 2+ then Revo offer better performance options. So I would've gone for APR stage 1 but want power!!
