Welcome to our new sponsor Lecatona, a brand dedicated to enhancing performance for VAG group sports cars, including SEAT, Audi, Volkswagen and Škoda. Specializing in High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) upgrades.
What about the S4? You know it makes sense
Sounds more like BOOM!
you should see the wee list i have grant , its large but dwidling , s4 is still on it , not the top tho , (think ally mac) hehe
i hit 30-32 psi 2000 holding 26 most fof the revs and then gradually down to 21psi at 4500
and when shifting up after 26-8psi.

My hybrid performs adequately fine at 1.8 bar. I assume it must be pushing a bigger volume of air to be able to give 220 bhp from the same pressure?

I think that most decent tuners will tell you that running a turbo at 1.65 bar constant is not a great idea. (for normal road usage anyway) 1.5 Bar is normally the upper threashold. If you were strict on getting your turbo reconned on a regular basis then you might get away with this or if you used the car as a drag strip thing...
Peak boost can be set to about 2 bar but that is normally only for an instant to help reduce turbo lag.
Thing is if the turbo goes and the spindle/vanes break up at high RPM speed (the turbo itself i mean not the car) it will tear itself to bits and then get sucked into all the cylinders and basically destroy your engine or at very least the cylinder head and valves will have to be replaced.
My advice, turn the pressure down. That small gain in boost is not worth the cost to repair..

A remap is often thought of a just one file in the ecu when in fact it is a culmination of multiple files. Each profile monitors a different sensor/mechanism and adjusts it in relation to other accordingly.
Boost pressure is just one map out out maybe about 8 that are good for modification. If you get the boost turned down, I would look at getting the torque limiter map changed, maybe the fuel advance map, rpm limiter and maybe the smoke limiter too.
Small changes on these will culminate in keeping the power but as you may or may not know, remapping is all about trade off. There will always be a trade off, whether it be engine life (not normally an issue) smoke, MPG top end speed, midrange acceleration etc. Always a trade off.
This is why tuners like to say that we are optimising the car to the customers needs.
Custom tuning the remap to how the client drives makes the car, for them better! Of course this is general and car do get some fantastic gains out of a remap. We did a Seat cupra last week that tuned from 225 up to 280BHP with a 75Nm torque gain. The trade off there will be when you open the throttle to full you will use more fuel than before!! Under steady normal driving around town say that car will actually save fuel.
Without seeing the actual maps for that car I don't know exactly what could be optimised if the constant boost map was reduced.
Hope this helps.

I'm from ballymoney aswell. just wondering where you are getting your re-maps done at? i'm running a 130 sport pd. ps nice car diablo see it in the pit the odd time.
Remapped 130
I got mine done at odb auto tune, ring ryan on 0775966244. Its £200 all in. He puts it on dyno before and after to compare results and gives you a print out. I had my map changed 3 times and once payed he will change it all for you when ever you want to try out more torque or power. I would highly reccommend the company. Also he is on 10 miles away. Tell him andrew baird sent you he might do it a bit cheaper.

had heard odb was a good place to go if i wanted the car to put out more power instead of more smoke like most re-maps in the area. you prob remember me andrew. went to coleraine tech with you a few years ago. i'm chirs jamieson.
130 map
I do remeber who you are, have you had the ibiza long. If you want i will take you out in mine some time. First set of tyre asted 6000 miles from new. I had to get new ones yesterday. Now its mapped when you pull out of junction on the dry and give it 2nd gear you leave a trail of smoke. Give me a shout on here if your lookin a run out!
