Power gains from turbo back?

[lewis1984]

Hey guys can anyone tell me how much power I can expect to gain from a milltek down pipe and sport cat? I already have the cat back system, a stage 1 remap, s3 DV and a dynatwist. And im running at 205.5hp.
Any actual figures would be awesom thanx.
Also what are the best tyres for the standard cupra wheels? Iv decided not to change the wheels because I like the "wolf in sheeps clothing" And scaring the **** out of TTs, scoobies and all the chavtastic corsas in my area. lol.

You are not likely to gain an awful lot of bhp but turbo should spool up a bit quicker.

 

[james walker]

to get best from dp and cat, youll need stage 2 custom map.... youll then be looking at 230-235 bhp, the ko3s is on its limit around there

I got an extra 14bhp when I had the B/F turbo back with sports cat fitted

As for the KO3s being max of 230/235 some of the euro guys are over 250bhp

 

[james walker]

is the 250 a rolling road lottery though...

the ko3s is known to max at 240.

stage 2 map is needed to achieve these figures aswell

 

[tris]

I would not no what stage as I belive custom is the best as every car is diffferent
One euro guy was saying about a Jetta with over 260 on a KO3s I saw it on here somewhere

I know of two KO3S's at 252 BHP both with the same map

i got a turbo back miltek system and a stage 2 remap today on my LCR ..........................omg its fast.

 

[Willie]

But the turbo back Milltek system doesn't have a bigger DP so you would get more benifits from a Piper 3" DP

I saw an 8bhp increase from a piper full system inc downpipe and cat.

 

[james walker]

I know of two KO3S's at 252 BHP both with the same map

what mods and what map..... im at 232, with mods in signiture..

 

[Willie]

See cuprabax's readers rides thread.
Search for track car and it'll come up.
He has a Star performance map thats the difference

 

[james walker]

well its a figure at the end of the day eh, also is that on one dyno... seems high for the ko3s

agressive map?

 

[Willie]

Awesome car TBH
Both cars did very very good times on Crail. the Ibiza before stripping out did 13.7 and 106 MPH and the Toledo did almost the same.
the Ibiza is stripped out now with major mods so will be quicker now.
RR very accurate and well proven

 

[james walker]

just the one rr?

no doubt what youre saying, but seems a one off to me.

 

[Willie]

No more than one but the 1/4 mile times speak for themselves.
A very well driven remapped LCR won't do the above times

 

[Willie]

I feel I've opened the no more than 240 BHP on a KO3s turbo can of worms again

I got 10bhp from my Milltek turbo back system, now sitting at a very driveable 240bhp. You will drop torque with a straight 3 inch downpipe on a K03S, bigger is not always better. Its fine on a K04 or hybrid but too big for the K03S in my opinion.

I'm thinking of going for a CR Turbos K03S hybrid with mapping to suit, LCR MAF tube, bigger TIP, BAM injectors and a front mount cooler, hopefully that will be good for about 285bhp.

 

[james walker]

at what cost is this cr turbos... turbo?

 

[Cupra Ross]

James,

Its the one that Benny just had fitted to his Ibiza. I think you actually send your turbo to them for "hybridisation" (is that a word?), with mapping its about £1500.
