hi, i recently had a stage 1 cc remap, iv enoticed tht my revs seems to stay high when changing gear especially in 1st and 2nd, also my turbo whistle sounds ore like a whoosh of air rather than a whistle like it used to sound like before a changed my TIP n had the remap, could it be a boost leak? thanks
 
are you loosing power?
if its a boost leak it will be noticebly lacking in power?
 
Boost leak wouldn't hold revs up though.........:think:.......any know if the leons have a throttle position sensor???? Alternativley have you stuck vag-com on it?
 
i dont think its the clutch slipping as i did the 4th gear check thing n it seemed ok and its never slips or anything, i dont think it losing power but then again its jus been remapped and sometimes dosnt feel amazingly qwik
 
ive noticed on mine that the turbo makes a very loud sucking noise same as what your experiencing, im unsure what it is. it does not feel as quick as it did but i managed 0-60 in 6.1 so i dont think there is much lack in performance more the fact that im now used to the power. but apart from that :shrug:
 
well i had it in midland VW today so they could adjust my timing on my remap (i wasnt running it on super unleaded before) and they never mentioned the turbo sound but said i need a new clutch sensor switch for the high revs problem, so its all good
 
yh im thinkin it mightjust be me bein paranoid or it could be i didnt fit my TIP on to my turbo properly, how does your guys LCR's turbo whitsle sound with a new TIP n a remap, is it still a whistle jus louder?
 
u will get a substantially louder whistle under boost after fitting an uprated TIP, its normal as the air is now more free flowing
 
I have a similar problem only seems to happen changing from 1st to 2nd occasionally 2nd to 3rd, is it a dealer part or available from online?
 
yh i get it in 1st-2nd well it more noticeable anyway, its dealer part only, i got mine from VW for £12.77

Don't suppose you have a part number or what model/year VW that has the same part, having problems locating one at a Seat dealer.

thanks.

i think its V1J0927189F. yh Seat dealers are completly useless IMO i always go to VW much more helpful
