Stagea Back From Tune

[wagon]

Ok, so finally got around to geting the car in for some work.

Picked it up yesterday afternoon, and so much better.

Unichip back in and tune. As well as water pump, timing belt full service the works.

now up to 141.8 AWKW at 0.75bar. Also the 4WD is working awesome

So much better, awesome to drive, now some suspension work and fuel pump next on the cards.

What mods do you have other than the unichip? BTW how is it tuned - is it done in place via a usb cord or through the consult port or does it have to be taken out and modified?

[wagon]

few small ones, turbo back 3 inch, cam gears, bigger cooler, tranny cooler, fuel pump which is on the way out apparently.

Boost module isn't working apparently so putting a new one in to try so just a bleed valve for now.

Laptop hooked up to the unichip and tuned through there i believe.

Almost forgot about the Unichip. Might get that done to my Stagea!

Local mob in Adelaide, Turbo Tune, that does them.

Hi RubyRS4, another option if it's a S2, is the Nistune - not a piggyback solution but basically a whole new computer (makes it fully programmable). Mine set me back just over a few hundred and that was including installation into my ECU (sent it away, got it express-posted back). Boostworx in Adelaide (just off South Road) handles them. Matt handles the type 4 board install (attn: Matt - [email protected]).

I also just got my car back from a remap. Got the nistune board, the install itself and the remap done for $650. Now running at about 11psi and getting 163.9kw. The drive is sooo much better. Need a bigger dump pipe (still got stock), bigger injectors and a bigger turbo and that 163.9kw will become as slow as a snail, haha. But since it is my daily I'm in no rush to get it done, it'll just make my car more conspicuous and less expendable...

That's pretty good for a stocker! Just a bigger exhaust will give you a useful power increase and if you get the right one it won't be too noisy.
