I started out just looking for info on when to change your DV for an upgraded one for performance and came across this info which will help with levels of improvement to my 2.0T A4 , probably not going past stage two. Thanks again. Thanks for the info.

You probably wont gain much more horsepower (5-20 additional hp max). Stage 2 however can give you massive hp gains, varying from just 25 extra hp to doubling your current horsepower or better. I myself have a '91 Honda Integra, and a 86' VW Rabbit. My suggestion to you would be to swap your engine for the 2.0L Turbo from the Golf TDI, or the 2.5L Turbo from the 2002 Rabbit. That alone will boost your hp to 200hp. However, I dont know how much experience you have with mechanics, and that can get costly. If you dont want to make the effort on a new engine, you can also upgrade these areas: -Suspension (Struts, lowering springs, sway bar) -Brakes (new rotors, brake pads) -Performance Chip (get a performance chip with the top limiter removed, this alone will give you a huge boost in speed) -Air Intake (Short Ram or Cold Air intake) Engine parts (manifold,headers, camshafts, clutch and flywheel) If you upgrade all that, I can guarantee you'll have close to or over 200hp Dear Dimitris,

So stage 1: remap, air filter, exhaust silencer, etc. these are all easy to undo. Done a remap? Just do another with the original map. Changed the air filter? Just look for the old one in the trash container and put it back in and you're .. undone. After these "safe side" mods come the stage 2. Say you have single slot brake pad configuration on the frontwheel and want to move to a double slot brakepad (that's 4 brakepads instead of two). You will need 4 brakepads now and a new brake caliper and almost always a new brakedisk which can take the increased ammount of heat. Of course after this your braking will tear your face and splash it on your windscreen but it's not that easy to undo. Stage 3 is even more .. but I think you got the idea.

Thank you :) Yes, this did indeed did satisfy my curiosity, but you were not too clear as to what sets apart ‘sage one’ from ‘stage two’ meaning, all you mentioned basically is that stage two is better than stage one, obviously that is the case, but could you kindly elaborate slightly on what a general ‘stage one’ modification consists of, and what a ‘stage two’ modification consist of??
