What boost is everyone running?

[Smoki333]

If that boost is correct, then you have a problem somewhere.

You should be boosting twice that, then dropping

Thats what i thought!, The car was like this when i bought it, I've had the car on vagcom, check hoses, everything
Pulls like a train, no stuttering or anything!

I just wanna know what map is on the car, at first i didnt think it had one but i had a play with a mates modifed cupra pushing 200bhp an stayed with him plus a mates rover coupe turbo which are 200bhp standard.

Its just confusing! Could a MAF cause this? (No warning lights are on)


Just put a ko3s on a still boosting to 0.9 (Just under 10 on this gauge)



Im thinkin of coming along to a rolling road to see what its putting out.

Dont know how you manage to stay up with a re-mapped cupra with 200bhp boosting about 20psi when your only boosting 10psi??

wheres your gauge taking its feed from? the tubes not being squashed or anything is it? might be worth trying a different gauge on there

could be the MAF, you wouldnt necessarily get any warning lights for the MAF, have you got a standard diverter valve?

When I had upsolute remap I was only boosting a max of 12 psi but was RR'd at 201 bhp.

Now I have Impossible Performaces custom map and I'm boosting about 18psi, RR'd at 206 bhp.

could be a cupra R ecu

Check MAF readings, requested boost versus actual boost on VAGCOM, might help you diagnose a fault.

fair play, must of increased some other settings then :s

or maybe as Bill would put it "dyno lottery" or was it the same rollers?

 

[mattbolt]

So 19 psi is about average then for most (with a revo stage 1 or equivalent).

There is still some puzzling things with my car then. Not sure what map it has.

I take it Other people are getting 180bhp at the wheels with similar mods to mine then?

 

[__B3NNY__]

I have basicly the same mods as you apart from a Miltek cat back and made 196bhp at the wheels... its been said a million times its a dyno lottery. or your cars a little unwell.


David.

EDIT: It was rolling roaded before the FMIC and T.I.P was fitted.

 

[mattbolt]

Yeh this is true. car pulls very well so not overly bothered. Only had one run on the rollers that specific day. So could have been different over a few more run's.

Exhaust is next tho i feel

196 at the wheels??? thats very high isnt it for just a remapped car with cat back exhaust and filter etc?

 

[R953 VSE]

well i have revo stage 1 and a BMC CDA and i made 180 @ the fly and 150@ the wheels. As far as im aware ~225bhp @ the fly is maxing out the k03.

 

[mattbolt]

That was what i was wandering with mine. i was told mine was pretty high with 180 at the wheels. not complaining tho

Would of expected more than that more like 190 / 200 at the fly, but again could be the dyno or maybe something wrong with your MAF?

 

[mattbolt]

Really goes to show how dyno's differ doesn't it. I know alot of people on here say that they don't count for anything but its still nice to find out.

Think grin factor exceed's this tho

 

[R953 VSE]

i expected more aswell but after coming on here i noticed how much peoples differ.

 

[mattbolt]

Is this just down to different rollers then or could it just be how different cars perform under different conditions?

This is why i had queries with my boost ( as i was unsue if mine was running too high and about to blow)

 

[R953 VSE]

different rollers, differen conditions, different cars etc.

the other cars ive seen on the sane rollers as mine came out with expected figures so i don't think mine is too far off.

 

[mattbolt]

Was the same when i went with mine. Although have the cars were all supra's evo's etc - made mine look a bit pants but still

23psi Spike Then Holds 18psi For Awhile Then Drops To 13-14 Psi At The Redline

I don't know mate lol
From the top of the dump valve..
Bailey dump valve, had standard on when first bought, then changed to bailey dump valve as it was makin wastegate chatter
Tried another gauge, same thing!

gona try vagcom readings.
Could be a Cupra ecu
