Cupra Tuning - Looks Promising

[YerMother]

Turns out the S3 MTM was also running 285bhp rather than the claimed 308bhp. I hadn't had my car rollered at the time the MTM map went onto it as it was just too new (198 miles). It never really felt like a big improvement over the standard map, but I assumed it may take time to run in / adapt.

After a few weeks I called Revo as I wasn't best impressed with MTM's £1050 offering, and surprise suprise, you'll notice I've swithced over. A true testiment that expensive dioesn't always necessarily mean good.

I'm back on Revo and the map is just fantastic. Superbly controlled delivery of power. One of our contractors who has an M3 CSL (and who hates turbo power delivery) said that he couldn't believe how linear the power delivery was for a turbo car. He also said that he loved the way that power was on tap in any gear. Not my words here, as of course I'd be biased ;-) !!!

I initially thought I'd miss the kick in the back on my LCR Stage 2 map, but the problem is if you try to put too much power down early on all you'll get is TCS / ESP lights and then the power backs off (which I assume is not what you want). A controlled power deliver to the road is less exhilerating but the results are that you get uninterupted power. Deceptively quick (you look down and you're at 3 figure speeds VERY quickly).

Have many people Revo'd their Mk2 Cupras yet??????

Warren did you get your money back then off MTM or did you just fork out more money for the REVO??

No money back I'm afraid, just a well learned lesson in the bag.

As you can imagine I haven't been running back to pick up any MTM lightweight 19" alloys!!!

Revo got my car mapped at Silverstone at about 282bhp, and although Haldex cars are notoriously difficult to get accurate figures from I wasn't suprised.

I'm going to push for a bit more as I'm after the new DV from Forge, and a new fuel pump from the States which Revo Kev is trying to sort out. The car was under-fuelling at the limits, and I'm hoping I don't subsequently have to change the injectors after the pump is done.

Jury is out on the Milltek full system, but we'll see how it all pans out. I think I'm about funded out on this project :-(

cheers

Gutted for ya mate! Hopefully the fuel pump will sort the leanness out and a full exhaust should get ya over the 300BHP!

Sorry, my bad explanation, the MTM map was about 282bhp, Revo got it to around 300bhp. Pump should elevate over 310bhp.
