Hey folks, as per thread title... Im sure there are plenty more mods to do to the car, FMIC being the next priority, but I really don't feel the car is quick enough, I think it's down to the map and the power delivery.
I have a Jabbasport stage 1 map, and it doesn't feel 'frantic' like my revo'd MK3 Cupra I had a couple of years ago, and that was standard bar the map!
It delivers a 20psi 'kick' backing down slowly to 17,16,15psi but there seems a heck of a lot of turbo lag, would a map affect turbo lag to a degree?
You can put your foot down and hear the turbo spooling but it sounds 'all bark and little bite' initially, as you kinda hearing the sucking-through-straw sound but the cars not really going anywhere whilst the boost is slowly building (this is lower revs in lower gears also).
It's not a vacuum leak, as i've replaced pretty much every single vacuum hose, and the ones I haven't done , I will be!
My friends revo'd MK3 pulls a lot more on me and thats is revo'd with a FMIC (which I can't see just the FMIC making such a massive improvement, I may be wrong however!)
I know progressive maps are good, but I can't help feeling I might be better switching to a revo map? Sure it's nice to have a progressive boost curve, and the revo may well throw it all at you at once, but with a K03 by time it fades out, it would have faded out anyway as it can't hold the boost at higher rpm surely?
For all you other owners, what do you think, what have been your findings?
