Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
Wish I'd got a photo of the Cupra Turbo number now!
But it's very tight round there on a road car
However - I think some Journo's have driven it.... recently
Which hopefully means they're getting closer

I suppose it could still be a k04 based motor! But it could also just be a improved k03 based unit!
Spoke to someone today, who unfortunately had got a bit confused with the question I'd originally asked, but got some potentially useful information:
First off, still dunno what turbo is on the 240 engine, but he did say the 230 was the same turbo as the 200, just "recalibrated" (i.e. different map).
He also said that the S3 engine was significantly diferent, I think he said pistons, definitely rods, possibly crank and there is "additional cooling" probably extra or larger coolant apertures in the block, making the block different.
Wonder if that's that extra pipe is, something extra on the cooling system?

Yes thats all known info already.
The BHZ has pistons with stronger pins, reinforced cylinder block, and new higher heat resistant alloy head. Higher pressure injectors. and larger k04 twin-scroll tubo. and a thicker intercooler too.
The extra pipe is air as it joins up to the turbo intake pipe. I have photos if anyone wants to see.

i actually think that it's the diverter valve repositioned... this extra pipe comes out between the intercooler and intake manifold... anyone? i really think that's the diverter...

dude... what? in the 1st photo u can see the pipe is conected to the air intake just after the MAF where there's no pressure, and at the other end it's after the intercooler. when the dv opens it recirculates air form there to the intake, after the MAF. makes sense to me
Now I get it, DV at the throttle body end 
Considering Dan's car has the same engine code as mine, I can tell you my engine does NOT have that pipe!
Strange.
