It’s also funny how 309bhp just happens to coincide with the power of a golf r and s3 pre GPF.... did vw bean counters get involved?

Most of the standard Cupra Mk3s at the Dyno day by PP a week or so a go, where getting around 308-310 on the Dyno. Only one standard car didn’t and that was a 4drive Carbon Edition which got 292. But the guys running the Dyno said that car was scrambling or snatching or something on the Dyno and needed a haldex service.It’s also funny how 309bhp just happens to coincide with the power of a golf r and s3 pre GPF.... did vw bean counters get involved?

That’s really disappointing to hear, I’m sure even more so for the owners hopefully the proper map makes things better
JB4 PPF car got 340 on the Dynoday, no stage 1 PPF cars to compare too though.I’ve often wondered if getting a non ABT car would have been better and then gettting a JB4 fitted which are giving 360~370bhp in the 2019 GPF cars
The tests I've seen show around a half second improvement in 0 - 60 times. Unless you're in a very hot climate, or race your car often, that's OK by me.

It depends on which temp sensor they are working from.Do wonder how much difference an intercooler will make though ????

Yeah but something wasn't right with that pull, it was on course to make 365-370 no problem!JB4 PPF car got 340 on the Dynoday, no stage 1 PPF cars to compare too though.
Who says the pull was wrong, and not the JB4 not being able to cope? I'm not saying either way but can't blame the Dyno otherwise Racingline wouldn't want mine looking at.Yeah but something wasn't right with that pull, it was on course to make 365-370 no problem!
I'm not saying it was a Dyno fault, but something went wrong, whether Dyno error or the car pulling boost or closing the throttle, but it wasn't right, just as the car was coming into peak boost and peak ignition advance it fell on its face! The JB4 can cope perfectly fine, mine just did 370 on Thursday! Lad in the Facebook page with a PPF car also made 370 with JB4!Who says the pull was wrong, and not the JB4 not being able to cope?

Were any other cars run at the same time out of interest?I'm not saying it was a Dyno fault, but something went wrong, whether Dyno error or the car pulling boost or closing the throttle, but it wasn't right, just as the car was coming into peak boost and peak ignition advance it fell on its face!

With mine? No just me, however the PPF car ran the same time as a stage 1 Unicorn car, it made 350 and the jb4 car made 370!Were any other cars run at the same time out of interest?
Well, the standard car is capable of far more than 300hp, but that's what they give you. One of the reasons being that they are considering car durability. The car is not marketed as a track day special, if that's what you want, do it at your discretion with whatever upgrades you want without warranty protection..I think the disappointment lies with the fact the figures are clearly not realistic. You pay the extra for the 375(?) bhp upgrade and they basically say it’s only attainable at certain conditions.
It should at least disclaim this during purchase. If it’s advertised as that power it should be realistically attainable or at least close to it at all conditions.
To have the upgrade and be running standard 290/300 power after it gets hot is just not right in my opinion....
That’s all fine but they shouldn’t have given me a car with 300 I payed for the 345 so rightly or wrongly I expect the car to put out around 345, I wouldn’t have even cared if it was low 330s that would have been something.Well, the standard car is capable of far more than 300hp, but that's what they give you.
