hi recently purchased a leon cupra 2000 reg. quite a long drive home in it, lovely to drive but seemed to be lacking boost, it'd boost up to about 3500-4000rpm but would then almost stutter, i'd noticed that the pipe from the airbox to the secondary air pump had been capped of at some point when...

Hi all Right i recently became an owner of a Y 2001 blue 1.4tdi arosa:) i saved it from the scrap heap it came into our garage with water loss and signs of head gasket anyway the owner decided to call it a day and asked us if we knew a company that could scrap it, i felt it was far to good...

Found this link on the internet while searching for ways of detecting boost leaks. http://www.vfaq.com/mods/ICtester.html Ive had the 17965 overboost code for over a year now and want to use my xmas time off to sort the problem ! Have any of you used methods similair to the above ? Has it...

I had to goto one of these pay at pump petrol stations yesterday as my local garage was shut so had to use 95 ron at asda. Today my boost is all over the place - sometimes holding 14psi and other times not even holding 10. Can this be put down to crap fuel?

Hi, When fixing up the engine block, mechanic has mentioned there is a 'hissing' sound, and that combined with the recent error codes from VAG.COM would indicate a possible boost leak. They mentioned it would require some form of 'octopus' of pipes and here I am showing my ignorance as I...

Hi, all, Ive got a 55 plate leon fr+ its running standard at the mo, Im about to order an oil pressure guage and a boost gauge (phantom's). I believe the standard boost pressure on a 150 is about 25psi, is this correct ? also Im thinking of gettting custom code to do a stage 1 job for me after...

my ibiza cupra 1.8 20vt is getting on my tits! m.o.t 2 weeks ago failed! minor things, most major was lamda sensor. got it back on the road wednesday, thursday had to replace coil pack x2 and set of plugs. since doin that car drives amazingly... until... you want the turbo to go above 5psi! then...

Ok boys my lcr has had a funny few seconds lately stage 1 map boost 20 psi n429 bypas in plAce. On long drives in 5 th and 6 th accelorating from 60 up wards making the lcr work she hits 20 psi the drops to 18 then straight back to 20 then 18 then 20 then 18! It's like I'm making the car...

The car peaks at 22 and drops to 20psi instantly but as the revs go up under full throttle the boost drops to around 15psi? Am I being silly? Dunno if this is normal but hoping so, thought it could be a leak. Cheers

What boost are you running? I've just reset my Split-R after the remap this week, I'm getting around 17psi ish according to my boost gauge, sound about right? Or shall I got clicking my Split-R back and forth again? lol

As per the title really. Me and a friend fitted the forge TIP to my Cupra a few days back, and where as before it was peaking at 1.4 / 1.5 bar (its running a Revo stage 1 map) it now refuses to go past 0.9 bar and is noticeably slower / less torquey:( Suggestions? All vac pipes seem ok and...

Hi all, second post :D I've tried searching this but couldn't really find much. I have a boost gauge fitted to my otherwise standard 110 asv now is it normal for the guage to flicker between 0 and 0.2 bar? Is this the so called "buzz"? Also what is the standard boost pressure for a 110? Is...

Good Morning All, After putting the Bluefin Stage 1 on my Cupra I noticed that there was a slight hesitation just above 4,000 rpm through to just over 5,000 rpm. My thoughts were is it the Fuel Pump struggling or the DV? After an e-mail to superchips this morning they believe it's the...

You know that slightly uncontrollable surge of power you get from coming on boost? Well I seemed to be missing exactly that today when out in the car:( Last week I felt I needed to be slightly heavier with the right foot to get the response I would normally expect by driving the car as i...

How do you really know if you've got a boost leak? My 225 has got an induction kit fitted so it you can hear the turbo spool up and the 007p dump slightly. But i'm sure i can hear a whistle from the O/S of the engine when on boost. It's just hard to tell for definate as the induction kit...

Ive developed what i can assume is a boost leak. maybe n75 but not 100% sure. maybe a split hose. Hadn't driven the car for about a week. Im assuming its a leak as its starting to boost then drops a bit on the gauge you can feel it to. then it builds up again and wouldnt meet full boost in...

Hi guys any idea where i can get a boost gauge pod to go along the A pillar of my 2.0 Cupra? Very new to this site and forum in general.. Any help or links would be great ive looked ebay but they are for Mk1? thanks guys Dean

well bit of an odd one this. I have recently downgraded from an evo 4 to this leon 110 tdi due to financial reasons, I know about boost cuts and fuel cuts having owned the evo 4. The other day on way to work only been driving probably not 5min come to a slight hill and was in 2nd gear and gave...

Im going to replace my mechnical boost guage for an electronic one, but stuck as to which to buy. Its a remapped PD150 so needs to read the correct PSI/BAR. I quite like the smoked lenses. Which one? Any to avoid?
