    I know it's old hat to many here and I've had stage 2 before but this was my first experience with an S5.

    Speedlife fitted dual pulley, stage 2 and dsg tunes along with cooler plugs.

    The thing absolutely flies, I'm so so impressed.

    That's all

    Did you jump from stock to stage 2, or from stage 1 to stage 2?

    I went straight to stage 2.

    Primarily this was because while their is much to be had from stage 1, it's very much focused on the high end, whereas, I wanted that but also the low down increase in torque.

    I am no expert and you can't go wrong with either, but for my driving habits, ST 2 was a better choice.

    I already have the stage 1. Doing stage 2, including the cooler is a lot of money, for not a huge amount of gains.

    I humbly think its about the way the power is handled, not so much a comparison of HP/TQ between the two stages.

    You will see a very different response low down between the 2 products but each to his own and enjoy your car :)

    Which plugs did you go with ? And did you upgrade your cooling ?

    Thanks

    stock straight to stage 2 dual-pulley, nice! Definitely a nice and substantial upgrade.

    You basically went from a car that can trap 105mph to 123mph in once slice on 93 octane

    I would say more like 11xmph, probably not 12x just yet. But it’s a huge jump nonetheless

    :)

    So, I am thinking that I want to try the car out at Epping, and will be interested to see what I can achieve realistically, any tips would also be much appreciated.
