It's different though isn't it? Kind of like your purple LCR, some people might not get it, but at the end of the day you like it which is what matters.

i have seen people on here sell their petrol whatever cos they are doing x amount of miles per day only to buy a diesel and then chip etc cos its not fast enough, well this is defeating the object is it not?

lol completely off the scale , vagcom says the same (3bar absolute sensor) show me 2,4 bar n il be impressed ya poof


If it's 3bar max, and you're seeing >2bar plus 1bar atmo, how does the ECU know what the boost is? surely it can't be right?

diesels still average 45mpg - 50mpg when chipped though. Its not affected my overall mpg having 220 horses. The sticky tyres have though. Sometimes wish I could go back to 14" steels and little narrow tyres again and get 60+

By the way - I like your purple Cupra. :D something different.

Guage taps from the manifold though, so is reading actual pressure. Not sure where the ECU gets involved with a boost guage to be honest.

Yep the fuel econemy might go out the window whilst giving it some stick(currently between 15-18.9mpg) but on the way back from allards yesterday i averaged 54 mpg at a steady 65mph. So no, it doesnt really effect the econemy if you drive steady but if you drive it hard then the figures will drop.

i would say about 210-225. It would be nice to get this proven when jbs get there rolling road sorted.
