Cupra MY16 turbo dial

[cs8]

It says that Cupra has 1.2 bar turbo, if I am right? Anyone knows why turbo pressure dial in the centre console under sport shows up to 2.2 bar when going full throttle?

I'm not certain but it's likely that there's an over boost function that allows it to increase for a short time, around 15 seconds, under full load and throttle in some gears. I know quite a few other turbo cars have this type of function.

Pictures?

Bar goes up to 2.2

Sorry to go off topic, but what app is that with the map, does it connect to the car?

Seat DriveApp or Seat Connect on Android. It connects via FullLink and map is via GPS.

Bar goes up to 2.2

Pressure tends to be reported as absolute in the ecu, so the 1.2 bar you were expecting plus 1 bar atmospheric pressure.

When did the my16 upgrades go into production? I'm due my cupra in approx 4 weeks so wondering if I will see the dials?

Atmospheric natural pressure (that is what you feel all day around you) is already 1 bar.
So when the turbo adds 1.2 bar to it it will be 2.2 bar.
So OVERPRESSURE is 1,2 bar and total pressure is 2.2 bar so the indication tells you the total pressure.

May be we can set it correctly in VCDS ?

 

[cs8]

Thanks for the explanation, but why it than shows also values below 1bar? It is a bit confusing information gauge.

Interesting yours shows in bar. Mine is PSI

I heard that SEAT working on a retro fit. Fingers crossed.

Uhm, how did you get it to show turbo pressure? Mine only has oil and coolant temp along with g-forces.

It will go below atmospheric pressure due to engine vacuum when closing the throttle.

You have to slide down with your finger the gauge to change

When I read what you wrote I thought I can't possibly be such a noob. But yep, I am. There's a reason they say read the ****ing manual, isn't there? Next step, find out how to change KW to PS or hp or whatever. Thanks a lot!

I only found the lap timer on the main screen 6 months in.

I knew about it on the MFD as I enabled it on me last car.

How do you get the latimer up on main screen haha? And is it actually possible to change measurement of power?
