do a search, its been well covered what the benefits are.

 

[lcrboy]

cant seem to find any??

search for tbe.

btw who has mapped your car? 280hp mapped is low.

depends who you speak to?
mine and others were done at JKM and only see 275 + or - 5bhp. on Revo
there is a good thread in their section about it , makes interesting reading of peoples power claims from different rolling roads.
i am only going to change my downpipe and car and change the cat back once the exhaust has gone.

Do it! TBE is a great mod, turbo spools up quicker and pulls harder throughout the range. Large increases in torque also.

 

[SteveTDCi]

I'd either do the cat back or tbe I think the large oval looks great on the cupra.

I got 20 to 25bhp and nearly 40lb.ft torque - well worth it.

Blade off topic a bit i know but what whp you got? Cheers

my best one so far has been 332bhp + my worst has been around 310bhp so its a bit of a lottery - suppose somewhere in the middle would be about right

Have seen that thread and yeah it depends on the dyno and dyno operator at the end of the day. Will carry on saying that over 300hp is to be expected after a map as it makes things less completely. The majority of dynos the cupra stage 1 will pull over 300hp, not saying that that figure is correct but for comparisons sakes thats the best way.

Have got figures of the cupras hp measured by those things that clamp onto the wheel which are more accurate than dynos and in stock for it was slightly down on SEAT's 240hp claim by 1 or 2 hp iirc.

That sounds about right because it's actually 240ps and 237bhp

should have worded my sentence more correctly. It was down on SEAT's claimed PS.

So was the astra vxr though. Will see if I can get the figures.

Ye Milltek tbe non res is great. Costs a bit but don't think you'll look back.

Judging by the performance of the Revo stage1 mapped Cupra i'd say 275bhp is a bit conservative. I'm only going off the similar levels of performance it has to some capable cars on the road...

yep like it being slightly, slightly, ever so slightly slower than a e46 m3 and standard evo 7.

Faster than the new focus RS though etc.

Don't want to open a can of worms but I don't think 275 is conservative, my Megane had the samepower and 330lbft and it could hold back my dads rs6

 

[SteveTDCi]

how much louder is the non res ? I was thinking of resonated with sports cat or the cheaper route of non res and keep the standard cat.

ye but stick a stage 2 megane and a stage 1 cupra on the same dyno and the cupra will make 15-20 more hp.

 

[robjnr]

Why not get the non res with sports cat, I heard one up at rstuning which just had the catback non res fitted, and it was quiet on tick over but when the guy booted it wow what a sound by far the best exhaust sound I have heard in person

 

[SteveTDCi]

i think non res + sports cat might be a touch loud, i hit 36 on thursday !
