What sort of gains is everyone getting with stage 2 for a MK7 GTI, with stock power runs? I got a 43kw (around 58hp) and 117nm (86ft lbs) gain. not sure if those numbers are very low or not for stage 2. My tune is a custom tune not an ots tune, so not sure if my tuner hasn’t tuned it to full potential or not. Mods are IE intake and inlet elbow and xforce downpipe with high flow cat. I’m looking for the power gain from stock, sort of pointless comparing dynos when you don’t have a base power run

From a stock GTI that's not very good. Stage 2 should give you more like 80 -110 more HP from stock.

Give us more details on your setup and post logs
so setup is as follows:
It is an early 2014 model if that helps at all…
Integrated engineering CAI
Integrated engineering turbo inlet elbow
Xforce downpipe with 100 cel high flow cat
Stock Catback
Apart from cosmetics, everything else is stock.
I wonder if my tuner didn’t push too hard to avoid turbo failure in my car as I’ve heard some 2013 GTI mk7 IS20 revisions are prone to failure as a tuner in my area stated as well as my own tuner

183kw is like 245whp...that isn't even stage 1 power....
Whats odd is the car is only putting down 180whp stock? Is this a super low reading dyno or...
My etuned GTI is making 100whp over stock...you should see at least 80.

The benefit I found at the track is that stage 2 gives a lot more torque at lower RPM so your torque band is widened quite a bit.

Mine only showed 185 HP stock on a Dyno Dynamics dyno.

No wonder you went bigger turbo.
