id say 230 ish tops......can we agree that a stage two should really have a fmic aswell???
mine did 209 bhp and 240lb/ft at awesome in summer,ive noticed a fair few of the ibizas putting out 230 ish with around 280lb/ft......would this be down to a fmic by any chance???sounds like a worthwhile mod if thats the case??

280lbft would require a large boost spike, which then requires an FMIC
however, many of the "high" k03s results have been obtained on happy dyno's
I agree with most of these comments. 230bhp is a sensible/realistic figure.
There are really 2 ways of mapping a turbo'd engine
a) Strong overboost at lower revs for a short rpm range (I hate this way, and think it is ''Mickey Mouse'' tuning dropping to standard boost at 4500ish rpm
b) Bring the boost in smoothly, not overboosting for as long, but holding a higher nominal boost towards the top end, ensuring better power delivery, and better performance drivability

whats a boost spike???sounds like a sharp stick to me????
Caused my the turbo overboosting after the initial spool which overshoots requested for a short duration before ECM brings it back down to the requested boost level!
It's more a question of what performance is repeatable, I think. Due to the standard intercooler, the intake temperature was too high to repeat my 242bhp run. The first run was aborted due to wheelspin, second run was 242bhp and third run was around 230bhp.
So, yes, I'd say a FMIC is a definite requirement for a hard-driven stage two car.

Yes but its all money at the end of the day! Just for a little extra BHP.
Why not just chuck out the seats, spare tyre, lose some weight and after the remap it'll feel like 300BHP+!!
Does it make much difference ditching the spare wheel? Anyone ever done this?!! I could use the extra space too...
If you get rid you'll be looking at millaseconds of time difference around a track imo!
Not worth it!! keep it in just in case you get a flat.

Sold the car to buy a....
We had some Dyno issues around that time....you will be seeing higher bhp if the rollers are correct in Jan
My average RR figure for a stage2 remap on my LC is around the 220bhp mark. I've had figures ranging from 213 - 235bhp on about 4 or 5 seperate RR days, on a couple of different RR's too. Torque figures ranging from 230-250lbft.
I'm more than happy with the performance, considering the car's now covered just under 98k!

I've just had my LC on the rollers today at Paramount Performance as part of the Detailing World rolling road day
Had 2 runs first was 234.5 BHP and the second was 231.5 BHP
Pretty pleased with that !!
