Stage 3 A45

[masojp]

Hi, I recently got a 66 plate (facelift) a45. I got a stage 1 re-map through a company called DMS and am pretty pleased however I'm considering going to a stage 3. I live in Ashford Middx.
Does anybody have any experience of costs/pitfalls etc. Sort of thing I'd be interested in knowing is:
What upgrades do you need? other than turbo
Do you need to upgrade diffs?
If poss could you recommend specific brands/models
what sort of cost you are looking at
know a garage near Ashford Middx that you'd recommend
Places that do stage 3 re-map? (not sure DMS do where I got stage 1)
Has anybody that's upgraded had any reliability or expensive bills as a result

Really appreciate anybody who can help.

I'm getting Avery charcoal wrap done at the moment - can't wait!

cheers

Hi and welcome. If you are looking at doing something substantial like a stage 3 I would be prepared to travel and get it done right. Tuners like MSL in Birmingham or GAD do power upgrades ad I would use one of those. They can advise exactly what you would need and a potential cost.

Prestige Autotechnik in Wimbledon are AMG specialist they done one of my friends stage 3 C63! ​

Maybe worth giving them a call but as previous message MSL would also be a good shout
