what have you done to your car today ?

[LEE69]

They are complete units (inc projectors) and have CCFL rings in them. Way brighter than standard led ones

Received my 1.8t pancake pipe and jubilee clips, just waiting on my 50mm silicone hose now to attach to the PD150 red turbo pipe!

Also did a power run earlier, 4th gear slightly up hill and had 155.6g/s air flow at around 4,400rpm which equates to 194.5bhp??? My car isn't mapped as far as I know though...does this sound right or will it be the extra grunt required for the slight incline?

How much BHP should you have? Any mods?

How much BHP should you have? Any mods?

Hey mate, I have the PD150 Cupra TDI so should have around 150 as standard. Have heard some of these cars have 160-170 from standard but never 194bhp?

Current mods engine wise are:

Cold air feed to original airbox
Cleaned out inlet manifold
Cleaned out and blocked off EGR (not deleted yet)
Catch can
New lower and upper pipes from I/C to EGR

Is g/s an accurate measure of bhp (when using the x0.8 conversion)?
Also I'm getting around 1.5bar boost (21psi), is this standard for the PD150?

 

[LEE69]

x 1.25 or /0.8

It's mapped imho

 

[dgjdrummer]

Ok then, so g/s is a pretty accurate reading to go by?

Highest I had previously was 135g/s (169bhp) but I don't think I reached the top of the rev range then.

Have no receipts of it being mapped and car only had multi-spoke alloys and lowering springs when I got it.

EDIT: Thanks Lee

 

[LEE69]

Get it on a rolling road should be around £30 for a printout

http://**************************/ is close to you and his rolllers are true

 

[dgjdrummer]

Cheers Lee, got your PM and will check them out!

I also think its mapped

 

[dgjdrummer]

I also think its mapped

Cheers, it is starting to sound like it. Are there any other readings I could take (on Torque Pro) to see if it's mapped or not before going to a dyno?

Unfortunately I dont know what the standard boost is, if can find that out you will know for sure without rolling. But I would recommend a roller session, or log using vcds

 

[dgjdrummer]

I've searched and have seen others say 1.5bar is standard map (mine is 1.7 peak with 1.4/1.5bar held), my boost does stay above 1bar all the way to 4.5k though. May have to just whack it on a dyno and see before I go bragging

That would be best

You should hope it isn't mapped dj, wouldn't see any advantage otherwise. £300 odd up though

Hit 70k in it, got slightly depressed as ive given it 55k of hard abuse and its starting to show
Then used my new impact gun to remove driveshafts and cheered myself up with how awesome it is
Changing oil, filter, fuel filter and plugs tomorrow

Kicked it's **** in coming home from work on a deserted M8 in Glasgow!!

105k on the clock and still solid at 130 tonight.

just done front door seals , drivers door peace of cake as it was original seal , passenger door a pig as someone has silconed it took twice as long to do , used butyl strip on both , now to try and dry carpets with dehumidifier

Fitted my new clutch last night with the Sachs 4 paddle plate and the biting point is really bad!!

It's not down to the plate as it's similar to OEM but do the linkages need a reset or is it another bleed of the system to get the pedal right?

Thanks

Removed my arm rest and tightened the small screw on the bottom of the arm - it had worked loose - refitted and no more annoying squeak

Six hours winter wash on the outside. See my readers ride for the progress
