Sorry if it came across wrong, popped in made a quick comment and left again, that will teach me for trying to rush my posts.
Although for sure i cannot remember our "exact" conversation, your account seems pretty much how I remember it. there were certainly no confirmed views on going ahead with a map, although after seeing the figures others were producing, i think you may have said "maybe" when i asked if you were now tempted.
Anywayglad your liking it
Never say never, and i don't think at any point did I say I wasn't ever.
Basically I was just watching, learning and weighing up the options before i jumped in head first.
I didn't say i was going ahead with anything at that point for the simple fact I hadn't really decided.
And your correct i did say maybe.But it wasn't a sudden change of mind or a snap decision. Certainly taken more time over this car than i did the Leon R anyway.
pump
ZBOYD,
Out of curiosity. How much is the pump and do you need to put on the exhaust as well to get the benefit.?
Yer it's not bad, a little down on some of the Ed30's which is odd considering it's supposed to the be the same map. But they are looking into it. Different ECU numbers and not as much development on the Cupra code. Hopefully i'll help develop it further.
However the curve is smooth as you like and the power delivery is ace. Prefer the stage 2 code to the stage 1, love the extra torque from the pump.

You'll have to check with Awesome (APR) to be sure, as they used a stage 2 code on mine with the pump. Obviously having a performance exhaust would benefit in the long run, but I see no reason for it to be essential.
A new APR pump is in the region of £750 or they do a trade in which i opted for which is around £550. But again check with Awesome for the most up to date prices, as they bring them in from the states the prices may fluctuate.

Or go for the Autotech pump which is much cheaper
Indeed, but it should also be stressed that kit requires you or someone else to fit the internals into your stock pump. Where the APR is basically a bolt on replacement with the work done for you.
But they do the same job at the end of the day, pays your money take's your choice.
Or go for the Autotech pump which is much cheaper
Or the KMD pump which is cheaper than both APR and Autotech
Hi ZBOYD I think it was you I spoke to at Awesome last Saturday 7th June. Do you have a scan of your power graph so I can compare it to mine as I seem to recall we have had almost the same power mods.

Maybe in next week my Cupra is going to get new parts under the bonnet. These parts would be Full TBE exhaust (APR 3" DP + Milltek 2x100mm outlet, HPFP pump, Stage 2+ file with Exhaust file/HPFP file and APR intercooler. In future it would get also Aquamist Watermethanol inject system and 104-105oct (RON) RaceFile...
Z, the video of yours at that last RR day is superb.
First time i've seen it.
Did good power just reversing off the RR didn't it.
