I'm in a dilemma! Should I see if I can get a Stage 1 tomorrow or get a new exhaust first (not Milltek, probably Blueflame or even just pre cat mod for now) and then get a stage 2 ECU remap. I don't want to spend £475 if I then change the exhaust in a months time and have to go back to TMS for a remap @ £550 edit: 'new quick answer' - I mean need quick answer (was on phone while typing)

I'm pretty (99%) sure Thorney will upgrade your map for free if you've bought one from him in the past So get the stg 1 now and just get him to update it later on.

really, the way I read it was that after an exhaust an new remap would be required which would cost more £££'s

Yep, one remapped... Thorney will remap the remap for free

According to the VX220 rolling road at thorney motorsport the stage 2's remaps with millteks and vipers were only getting 2bhp more than standards! I wouldnt waste your money! See- Forum/ vx220 discussion/ tms rolling road results.. Thats about £700 per horsepower!!

I think you need to drive a standard car then drive a stage2/2+ before you make comments like that!!

I think you will be quite impressed once you have!

I had a similar choice to make myself when I tuned the car at TMS. First off went for the Stage 1 remap and added an ITG induction kit at the same time, Thorney considered doing at Stage 2 remap at the time due to adding the ITG but stayed with the Stage 1 remap in the end. Great noise when I left the workshop believe me. Then a few weeks later when a bit more cash appeared shot straight back upto TMS and had the full Miltek system added, and had the car remapped to Stage 2+. Basically rejigged it about and skipped Stage 2. The tuning was done about 2500 miles ago now, and believe me this has made an immense difference to standard N/A. The car is absolutely awesome. Pulls all the way through the gears, and to be honest I have tried, but as yet been unable to cut the engine out in 4th gear, and by the time i put it into 5th the car was at 125mph. You can cruise along the motorways in this car and forget you have a 5th gear. The car just flies! But going back to your original question.................get it all done!!! Then again looking back at your post you probably done it by now!
