Just a quick question about a Stage 1 kit, I know this comes up alot but couldn't find anything about it. A couple of months ago myself and my dad put a Stage 1 kit onto my 998. Obviously with it being off the road for a month due to the crash last month. I washed it today and had to drive it up the drive. It was so clogged up it sounded like it was firing on 3. Yeah it was in choke too. Once gave it a couple of revs it was fine. But when I did drive it it did use to run rough sometimes, currently its been set up to pass emissions and you can hear it doing a little misfire on idle every 3 seconds.

So I'm going to roll and road it when it's back on the road. But the question was did I need the new needle? Or would it of been better to keep the original needle in when I installed it?

You need the new needle, or else it'll be running lean, but you need to adjust it enough to get it at least driveable to get you to a rolling road

Yeah it's driveable, it's quick when you put your foot down. So can easily get to a rolling road. Also the rolling road will set it up so it will pass emissions and tune it so it runs right yeah?

The rolling road will set it up for optimum power & performance, this won't necessarily mean that it will pass an MOT emissions test though, as they are too different things.

Ok thanks, I'll just have to turn down the fuel mixture when it has MOT :)

yeh you'll get annoyed with pulling the choke out every time you put your foot down
