Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
i see 20psi at redline on my setup (on gauge) , dont know what that equates to in 'bar' ? peak is 22psi
My GT2X holds 1.3 BAR as far as i dare rev it, have seen 1.5 bar at around 6900 rpm when setting apexi up.
David, what setup are you running?
David, what setup are you running?
hopefully getting some next weekend mate so will post them up
had some on laptop but since been upgraded to vista and lost everything
cant get vagcom working on vista now, hence why im waiting to see my mate next weekend with a working copy for logging

everybody speech of 280cv with 1.3 bar, but nobody illustrates testing 
I think 280cv is to much dream, with 1.3 bar
1.3 bar in the 20vt of a friend
KW = x 1.36 = BHP

Every GT2X that Star have done has made over 280bhp at 1.35 BAR, it's a reality not a dream. Proper mapping and supporting mods is the key, slap a GT2X on a near standard car and it won't happen.
3 inch downpipe, 3 inch inlet and an open cone filter - plus proper mapping of course, a semi-generic map will not get you over 280. Since fitting a 3 inch turbo inlet I now know that the S3 Forge TIH was restrictive because my car pulls harder and has better top end with the larger inlet, my Apexi boost controller is set to 1.3 BAR and it holds 1.1 BAR to the redline. I also found the BMC CDA restrictive too.
BMC CDA restricting it you think? Hmmm i hope not cause was expensive.
What do you run robdon?
What TIP do you have now, i would like bigger on mine but fitment will be an issue.
Think i will try a open cone filter and do some MAF logs.

my car Makes 284 BHP @ 1.3 bar.

Thank you very much for your answer, I do not try to be hard in my words, but I do not dominate very well in English.
I forget to comment, also have manifold ATP, and CDA BMC but is no especiif of ibiza mk3 is of LCR sat model, is more bigger than ibza mk3, and to have a ram air in 80mm for to take cold air of the outside
the DP in 3” I do not think possible in ibiza mk3 it does not fit
I have the similar mod than cupra-mat but I do not have 280bhp

I have a Seat Leon FR with the GT2X. 1 year now... pushing 1.4 bar, and same setup that many from here.. (fmic, 3"turbo back, 380cc injectors @4bar, 3" CAI, etc)... I made a custom TIP, because OEM is very restrictive, also took my intake manifold and coated on a special paint that rejects heat... don´t know how it´s called in english, but you can push the car hard, stop, open hood and put your hand on it and won´t burn!!!... Also have polished inside and opened ports..
Don´t really know how much hp is pushing because there is no dyno around, but I can say that it´s pushing much harder than a Cupra R with all mods (still k04), Audi S3 with mods, ... really happy.
Mapping is APR K04 software and some tweaks with LW, V-Tune and MBC.

Sounds great, much like mine, since fitting the 3" hardpipe inlet, K&N filter with flow stack and upping the boost from 1.3 to 1.4 BAR, it feels fantastic, pulls really hard all the way to the redline, the GT2X is a very underrated turbo.
Here's some blurb from ATP's site to remind people what they said about it:
"The newly developed “GT2X” bolt-on turbo unit makes for an exceptional replacement for both the K03 and K04 turbo customer who likes their turbo in the stock location utilizing the stock exhaust manifold. This turbo is also for the customer that does not want to miss out on the low end “grunt” or torque of the stock turbo. However with the GT2X, expect to be pleasantly surprised by the flatness of the torque band and linear power delivery all the way to redline. Unlike the K03/K04 series, the GT2X has been designed to allow for a full power band on the 1.8T engine without choking up after 5000 rpm due to excessive backpressure at the turbine (a common problem even for customers that have upgraded from a K03 to K04).
What makes up the GT2X is a combination of a highly efficient small frame Garrett turbo cartridge (consisting of a highly optimized wheel combination that is fully assembled and high speed balanced from the Garrett factory) and an ATP cast exhaust housing that has been designed to further optimize the turbo for the 20V 1.8T allowing it to reach its highest efficiency range during normal operation. The result is nothing short of spectacular – an awesome breathing turbo and engine combination that likes to rev! In terms of performance, the GT2X (even though a non-ball bearing turbo) has the ability to start building boost right off idle speeds with more than 200 ft/lb of torque available from 2500 rpm all the way to redline, giving it the feeling of a powerful V8. This turbo, with its modern GT wheel aerodynamics, has the unique ability to make boost “now” and not make any qualms about holding the boost to redline.
Have no fear about this turbo going KKKaboom. The GT2X turbo shaft is at least 25% larger than any K03/K04 turbo and since this turbo can provide peak HP without going outside of its peak efficiency range, it will not be forced to run at the reliability limits. This turbo happily makes a reliable 275 crank HP on pump gas and close to 300 crank HP on high octane."

Robdon. Did you get it mapped again to up the boost or just adjust the Apexi?
Have you had it back on the rollers?
ps: just got the hard pipe kit, looks good. Thanks
