550ps is awesome, but how long will non-forged engine run with 2+ bars of boost?
Turbo is fraction of a cost.
Stock internals will give up at some point....

NEW LM575 IS38 is on the market now. Perfect for 500 - 600 HP.
It was tested in Audi S3 8V - see video.
Powerful & Solid & very early Spool - even better than well-received LM500 V2.
60-130 mph = ca. 6,6 - 6,7 sec./ GPS corr.

Dear Cupra Racer. In summary, up to 580Nm and aprox 480-500Hp there's no need in rebuilding the engine, no? My car is an '20 ST Cupra R 4Drive with Opf filter and can't wait modifying it!!! As i read, you decline hybrid turbos in order to get a stronger charger, no? What parts do you reccommend for a near 500hp project? Keep in mind my driving style will be 85% road and legal sppeds ad 15% routes and some minimal trackdays...


P.D: As video shows, LM500 vs LM575 is pretty much the same Vbox times, isn't t?

Regards!

Hi, 6,60 Sek with LM575 in Audi S3 (4WD + 100 heavier than CUPRA) is a 5,8 in Leon CUPRA MK3.
Buy LM500 V2 or LM575.

5,8 100-200. Incredible. Do you know if REVO has some different maps or can adjust our ecus to this new turbo upgrade?s Keep in mind i live in Spain. Do you have some spanish dealer? I bet so, hahahah

Regards!

Just share a link to take a closer look to the LM500 V2 and a more than possible purchase.

Regards!!!

Hi - here a link with Videos and Photos of LM500 V2.
It has an Update called LM575 IS38 with more power.
LM still builds the LM500 V2 because lots of Tuners want it.
It has been a nice turbo since 2017 but now I would recommend
the NEW LM575 (even FASTER spool and much much more power:
You can give it 480 or 580 HP - The turbo immediately makes what you tell him to do.

Whats the difference between V2 and LM500Track? I was leaning more towards 500Track
Here the new LM500 TRACK compared to LM500 V2:
The TRACK is the more modern turbo: faster and very aggressive spool, much cheaper, but makes 490 HP at the most.
The LM500 V2 can make 525 HP.
Here a video of the LM500 TRACK and and a video of LM500 V2.
