so RS6 your happy with the output coz i also have the full milltek system with high flow cat was thinking of changing for the 3"dp only other thing is I am still on OEM intercoolers so feel should change those before stage 2 otherwise all ready for stage 2 have a stage one custom code at present
**UPDATE ** CHANGES TO BE MADE TO SETUP END OF FEB!
Cupra R101
Yeah im happy with the output tbh, bhp doesn't really mean much on the road its torque that is whats needed, i am however not happy with the TIP thats on there at the moment i will be selling the forge one and buying badger5 custom 3" TIP at the end of this month, should add another 12-15bhp and more torque, also swapping my pannel filter for the large jetex cone filter my next purchase will also be a liquid boost gauge one that sits in the air vent
Yeah you need to replace the standard OEM intercoolers before hunting down more power, they are very restrictive, any intercooler will do don't think it has to be a forge one

Great news on the map mate
Totally agree with the intercooler mines running low torque figures for a stage 2, can only think it must be due to the lack of FMIC. I cant justify the price of the Forge one so going to get a TX autosport one from ebay, then its 3" TIP time
Edit:
I recommend the liquid gauge! hours upon hours of fun to be had.
So would you guys def recommend a fmic before stage 2 have everything else in place currently running cc stage 1
seen a fmic on ebay has 63mm outlet pipes so no reducers

Personally, yes. That's what I did and it seems to have worked out pretty well. Getting the map done before the fmic will only help it to adjust and settle better to all the key mods you have installed.
Getting an fmic after will mean your map and ecu will need to adjust, but it can be done. I just tend to think it might work a bit better if you map the whole lot at the end. That's how I went about it anyway.
But there are plenty of stage 2 LCR's running without fmic's. But I doubt you will see one near 300bhp as the temps will be too high on full chat.
Maybe should do it right this time
when got my cc stage 1 had only changed the dv and panel filter since then done exhaust and hoses etc bottomless pit lol

Lol, I feel your pain. But also reaped the rewards in lately for it. Car is a completely different animal to when I bought it
As its a daily driver over time done brakes to badger5 clutch went at 80k had done 60+ on stage1 think Southburns kevlar clutch last one on JBS at time lol, short shifter rear arb uprated db mount wishbone bushes got r32 front arb to fit lowering springs etc etc
so what site is tx fmic on and are they using reducers for the pipework??

Lol, alot of work to be done as you know all too well then!
Can't see the TX kit's for sale now on ebay unless I'm blind. Here's their site though.. No reducers

TX Autosport FMIC is off ebay mate, no reducers 63mm inlet/outlet, trust me get one before stage2.
Edit: t0m your blind

I searched for 'TX FMIC' hence no results as you can see it's not in the title
Anyway, I agree, get it bought before stage 2 for best results!
cheers guys have added it on ebays watching list lol
does look quite small lol but people happy with performance

It's deeper than Forge's, total area is very similar and I think mine proves it can hold up just fine to stage 2
It's rated to 350bhp. I'm not going any further power wise with mine so it'll do me.
