    Hi Jez,

    How would a standard clutch fare with stage 1a? Also is the map similar to the stage 1 where you might see some better fuel economy off boost?

    Thanks
    Mark

    I think the clutch is going to be on the limit, but my 90k mile clutch hasn't slipped yet. I don't do hard launches though.

    Fuel economy seems to be about the same as before - Jez will confirm, but I don't think the part throttle map is altered.

    Taken me a while but mine is set up as follows:

    Set - 71%
    Gain - 10/%
    Start boost (shown as 'Set Gain') 123
    Warning - 174
    L - 11%

    These figures are for the GReddy Profec B II measuring boost in psi. The Greddy measure in kPa by default.

    Figures obviously relate to my car and others may be different, so probably best to start with more conservative settings and keep checking for det as the numbers are increased.

    I'd budget for an uprated one

    Ok received my ECU back after getting stage 1a fitted, previously ran no chip at 15 psi boost.

    My profec settings are below

    Set - 57%
    Gain - 10%
    Set Gain - 125
    Warn - 174
    Limit - 11%

    It hits a peak of 17 psi and tails off as rpm increases. Its hard to look at the profec and drive at the same time and my girlfriend is too chicken to do it for me. So im not sure how the boost pressure differentiates (sp?) as rpm increases.

    Ill have another tweak tommorow when i can get a friend to watch the profec for me.


    So far and thank you to jez for quick service.

    I am going to get a stage 1a as soon as my daily drive is MOT'ed. I have no plans to ever go past stage 1a......probably.
    Is it worth me getting a nice shiney manifold? At the sub 300 bhp mark is it going enough diference to make it worth the outlay?

    Our manifolds can help with spool and smooth delivery out - you can get up to 300bhp if you went for a stage 2a map. They're not required for stage 1 or 1a

    Did i just read that the £50 upgrade was only for January???????

    I posted waaaay back in this topic showing interest, and have been waiting to get some money coming in. Is it not possible to get an upgrade from stage 1 to 1a for £50 anymore Jez?

    If so, is it a swap of board, or literally just a silicon chip?

    To go from stage 1 to 1a is £74.99 now I'm afraid. To upgrade, there is no soldering required - just swap a couple of socketed chips over.
