hi guys i had my cupra on the rollers on monday. its been remapped with forge fmic, air filter and jetex cat back exhaust... the readings were

205.7 bhp which is ok im happy with..
but the torque figures were a bit strange..
my peak torque was 277.5 lb between 2500-300rpm

how ever at 4474 rpm where my bhp was at its peak my torque was 241.3??

does anyone else think my peak torque is rather high for standard ko3?? comments are always welcome...
the guy who owned the rollers seemed to think my boost controller cud be sticking causing it to over boost? could this be right?

It's all about the shape of the graph/line. Yours may peak high and then drop quickly (not hold) which could explain the high figure. Would need to see the graph. Get it up loaded!!!

it is slightly optimistic but iv seen higher

iv alwas believed regardless of RR results that 250odd (lb/ft) is the highest the stock turbo is capable of

i would say the power figure is spot one, its certainly in the ballpark for the mods you have

Well to put in comparison my ko3s made about 270lb torque. You can compare to mine if you want. I also have a graph when i just had a revo stage one but only made 232lb torque then.

my wifes ibiza on revo stage 1, no fmic etc made 200bhp/260lbft - I'l dig out the plots, but it didn't nose dive, and the boost wasn't set that high (and it was running tesco 95)

As badger 5 said ''Spike'' If your car uses revo software it runs a high over boost setting which gives you such a high torque figure. For example... your car my run 1 bar of boost constantly, but when you floor the pedal it will give you a quick over boost of say 1.5 bar for a quick second to get the car moving. Thats probably why uve made so much torque.:)
