Overboosting???

thats true, so i suppose its a bit of a cheek asking for the money back. hmm, i really dont know what to do. there could be so many things wrong with it. i think i'll check for any kinks in any pipes, that could cause a problem i suppose. if not getting the diagnostics all checked out should fix things

standard on a Cupra R I'm not actually sure I expect a little over 10? I'm sure someone will verify.

Thats the problem selling a Cupra R for 4k with a brand new engine is well quite suspicious actually. Its very cheap for what it is....

8/9psi IIRC, It could just be a crap cheap map, If it goes into limp mode at all underload it might be worth checking the actuator rod to see if thats been played around with. 12-13threads std.

Good luck, and let us know how you get on.

is there not a different turbo on them ie k03 and k03s

because why does a cupra r get more power when remapped than a cupra if its the same engine?

They dont, get either of mapped and you`ll be looking at approx 190-200bhp with approx 230lb/ft.

Wind the actuator back to 12-13 threads if it is a case its been played with that should cure it.
