i think the revo trial must have screwed my ecu settings!

i just hope p torque could sort it all out and sqeezse out all the power from it!

Hi Atif

I didn't realise you had a trial on there.

I usually charge more for this, as it leaves a code on the ECU that needs removing and can sometimes make it harder to communicate.

I'll still keep the quote the same this time for you.

As for the running issues, I will check things over, and make sure is well ;)

no expert but if decatting has thown a ecu fault, even though theres no cel light the car will run with that fault in its ecu? so it will limit power?

wouldnt you need to fool the ecu into thinking the cat is still there before it will run right?


just a thought?

I ve got the cat some were at home, i had it refitted for 2week, but no still the same thing.
i then took out again! the car feels better with out the cat.

when i had the revo trial, the car reaches 100 easy (prvate roads). but after the next few days it felt abit sluggish.
On some days it spools up quicker! some times it dosnt!

Im getting my car back to exhaust place tomorow to get the cat fitted back in.

My car is missing the two silencers, if i get them refitted with the cat as well , will they help reduce the back pressure?

Yeah you'll be losing low down torque by quite a bit.

Like rob has correctly said, you can have an exhaust too free flowing.

I would personally see about a sports cat tbh mate.

Your going from 1 extreme to the other with no cats to the 2 standard cats.

With the 2 standards, you may gain more low end grunt but sacrafice top end. With a sports cat i would think it would be the perfect balance.

However if you dont have the £££ at the moment for a sports cat, i personally would stick the standards back in until you can afford it:)

cool
well so best would be then put my cat back in with the 2 silencers to help keep the back pressure low!

The car pops very loud when i change around 2500rpm

How many silencers does a normal cupra has? Is it 1 or 2?
Sorry for going on, but i need to get it right before the car goes back to the garage

think its two
i know im only running the rear silencer on my set up. took the middle silencer off. no major reason other than more noise :rolleyes:

im still with my miltek twin on the back. trim melted a little under the bumper whilst it was being mapped. is this a good enough reason to change it i wonder?;)


glad your happy with your map and car. :clap:
