Boost Controllers

[Whittie]

Just wondering if anybody has boost controllers in their cupra's?

I'm buying a cupra within 2 weeks, stage 2 star map, ko3s turbo, turbo exhaust, front mount intercooler etc..

I do quite a lot of motorway miles, and would be a handy thing to have in the car, would get to save some money

Been looking at the apexi avcr's - Has anybody got one in their ibiza?

Who fit's them in the UK?

Thanks for any help,

Alex

what do you need it for? I can't see that it'd save you money

Cruising on motorway... without turbo uses a lot less petrol.

yea but when you are on the motorway cruising you wont be in the turbo. so not really any point.

You don't have to drive the car on boost. The throttle pedal is quite controllable.

Well with it turned right down I mean....

as stated... when there's no load, there's no boost.

I managed to drive 600 miles on the motorway at 38mpg in a remapped Ibiza.

generally I found the ibiza was better remapped on fuel than when switched off.

Well I have to, you probably do too, but he doesn't.

Who would fit it? Jabba?

 

[andygolf]

you dont need it.

Jabba would fit it for you, along with alot of other preformance centres... If your only running a k03s theres not any need for one really.

baettie17 has a apexi digi boost controller, i met up with him a while ago, decent bit of kit for sure, but said it was a nightmare to hook up and get operating properly
