I’m not sure myself but I would think mrc would want mods to the gearbox/TC to take the power I don’t think there’s many running stage 3

Isn't stage 3 just a custom map based on the mods you've done? Like if you install a meth kit or bigger turbos or something. Otherwise there's no benefit over a stage 2.

From their site:
Stage 3 MRC realtime or specific tune for modifications (larger turbos,injectors or supercharger)

Stage 3 includes free Remap Tweak/Health Check after 1 day to 2 weeks of driving.

Stage 3 Remaps include 4 hours dyno time, all extra Dyno Time is charged on top of this price.
If the only mod you have is the Miltek then the least painful way to more power is gutting the pre-cats and getting the map tweaked. You could get up to 560 that way. If you want anything over that then you start to need to pump serious money into the mods.

I’d be very concerned for box issues at 560bhp! I always see these cars as more of a classic now to be cherished and cotton wooled. The day of these being modded to the teeth is gone

Thanks chaps , just had the f125 sensor done as the gearbox was playing up which was a huge relief so don’t want to put the box under to much stress I suppose. Running around 530 anyway so il think il stick with that snd love and care for her now on all original glory
