Cupra Power Increase

[davidgoodwin180]

Hi guys, i am looking to get my power up a bit, i am looking to get about 220bhp out of my car.

i have a few bits and bobs i am looking at getting...

- Tubular manifold
- De Cat
- Catback system

i already have an induction kit fitted and i would also like to fit a manual boost controller but have been told that if i change the boost it will cause the car to go in ti limp mode.

can anybody shed some light on the matter and help me with what i should be getting for the car.

with my scoobys it was easy, 35bhp from upping the boost and another 15bhp from changing the manifold, but i am having trouble getting my head around these engines.

Thanks David

Is that one of those shitty £100 manifolds off ebay?

You can get 210 from a stage 1 map around 225-235 on a stage 2.

If you get the de cat and exhaust you'll only need a TIP and optional FMIC and you can get a stage 2 [maybe a 4 bar FPR depending on map]

What Adam said.

Which year is your Cupra?

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Oh yeah forgot about that! if its a early one it might have the K03 and that only flows about 200bhp on a good day I think.

2001 on a y plate.

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

2001 on a y plate.

Thats the AUQ engine? if so thats the KO3s turbo.

 

[davidgoodwin180]

oh well thats my big idea out the window.

what am i looking at (£) for a bigger turbo & fitting.

thanks David

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Nooooo! the K03s is the bigger turbo ko3 is the smaller one.

Well not really smaller just flows less.

 

[davidgoodwin180]

ooooooookkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk where can i find the engine code

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Its on the fron of engine on drivers side [not sure if you have to remove engine cover to see it], think its part of the chassis number to?

 

[davidgoodwin180]

ok, i have AUQ stamped on my engine, quick quick tell me what this means do i have the bigger turbo

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Yep

 

[davidgoodwin180]

how much BHP will it let me squeezeeeeeeeeee out of it.

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

See my first post mate

 

[davidgoodwin180]

so its possible to get 235bhp from this turbo

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Well there are storys of people with 245 but from what I've read 235 is about it in reality.

 

[Damoegan]

235-240bhp and 270lb/ft ish from this turbo

I think you can get the KO3s hybrided (customr dictionary )too for even higher gains.

 

[JamJay]

Yeah you can. Basically you need a turbo back exhaust, uprated DV & turbo inlet pipe, air filter and a stage 2 remap. That'll see you 230 - 240bhp but I would recommend a FMIC too if you want to see the top end of that figure. Heat soak is a pain and can really affect things.

I think you can get the KO3s hybrided (customr dictionary )too for even higher gains.

You can but then you need bigger injectors, manifold, MAF etc like JamieBennet
