Stage 2 after 100kkm/60kmiles?
Ik it's been talked about a lot, but is it a good idea to do stage 2 after 100k kilometers, intake, downpipe and tune? I love c43 but i would like bit more power. I want to hit atleast 470hp. Car is in perfect mechanical condition, no problems with engine, gearbox works good (except very quiet rattle coming from engine, it dissapears when i rev so i doubt it's anything serious. I talked with few mechanics and they said it's fine)

You should not hear a rattle but more like a tick which comes from the hi-flow fuel system. A rattle is metal on metal and a ticking in the W205 is the fuel system so if you don't mind the rattling, you risk more from a higher tune that is known as not-safe for these engines. Of course, unless you are willing to invest big in engine modification and upgrades, then a downpipe is not going to hurt the engine.

I have intake, ECU tune +plus JB4 custom map, and TCU tune, car traps 119mph in the quarter mile (so ~450-480 whp). I've had it tuned since 35,000 miles and now have 70,000 miles. Zero issues. MANY quarter mile drag strip passes.
If you have a rattle that goes away when you rev it, check your motor mounts.

Wastegate rattle, if you only hear it at idle and decel/ coasting then thats probably it. Not much you can do about it.
Also to add to the list of stage 2 cars, i have had it for many miles and have 95k on the car now without any issues. I went with eurocharged due to their reputation and local shop to me.
