Chris: You say you had a blow bov spacer? What happened?

BAD BAD BAD NEWS! ive said for a while that my bov has blown well last week the epc light came on and i checked the bay.... only to find oil all over my engine, the bov was spewing oil out over the engine.

Aren't they going to wonder where the oil managed to get out of? Hope it gets sorted that's very strange! May be worth speaking to forge as well in regards to how this could have happened

dont think the bov spacer would cause this.....the pistons arent even related to it as far as im aware......your car is running a custom map isnt it....i know from forge that the OEM DV struggles sometimes with increased boost pressure and warmer climates (bit retarded consodering SEAT are spanish but what they hay) maybe ur map cause the OEM DV to fail

your BOV shouldnt have any oil flowing through it at all?
it should be connected in the intake air path , so if you have got oil coming from it you have a major problem somewhere?

or unless the design is different for the turbo and supercharger to work together? but i would be very suprised if any fluid was involved.

i need to get my car to the pod. it is now stage 2. collect it tomorrow night. will have dyno graphs etc and performance figures all sorted.

little teaser of the stage 1 performance.
0-62 consistently less than 6 seconds (VCDS recorded)
0-100 consistently less than 14 seconds (VCDS recorded)

stage 2 is now on, as is the downpipe. Stock cat back, stock intercooler and stock air intake. so potential more gains to be had from bolt ons as well.

where are the settings in vcds for this?
can i have the instructions please? ;)

i heard there was a 0-60 but i thought once your car was mapped it was very inaccurate?

no idea mate how it was done the guy who mapped my fabia did it. VCDS records speed, and you also reate time stamps when logging, so iirc he used both to calculate the speed times.

that would make the fact that car being mapped or standard irrelevant. I think what you are referring to as being inaccurate are the power/torque measurements you can do with VCDS
