Cupra137 Hybrid II Track Project
- Thread starter Cupra137
- Start date
Little update,
Got the new forge map sensor fitted to replace the restrictive oem plastic one and sorted out some pipework a bit too
Also bought a beader online, for peace of mind once its running higher boost, got one side of the car done earlier, but forgot to take my new Jubilees out with me, so have left 4 pipes unbeaded til next weekend.
Fantastic bit of kit this, does take a bit of practice to get them perfect though.
And then this happened, (had to stop on the way to work to get a photo as couldn't ignore this milestone haha) hopefully I can start booting it now that its run in
And decided to tidy up the interior a bit as its a bit naff and marked, so bought some new material to retrim all the headlining and possibly the pillars too, depending.
Then I got hungry after a days work, so ate all this. (Yes, i am actually fat)

Nice where did you get that cool little tool from ?
Guy on ebay makes them, really good quality, nothing fancy just does the job you need it to do, il try find his details for you if you like
Well it was good while it was on the road haha. Basically everything on the car basically was custom made and made pretty badly. The exhaust mani was a cheap one off ebay cut up and rewelded to make a top mount. The welding was done very badly so cracked multiple times until it eventually snapped completely, so, making a new custom tubular mani with a new 44mm v-band wastegate, routing the battery into the boot and generally having a big tidy up under the bonnet then mot.
I really need out of the lockup that im in though as its a bit far travelling from garthdee to mintlaw everytime i want to work on it and when i find another lockup the car will be off the road once more for a full colour change
As you mentioned any chance of the details of the guy who makes the wee tool on ebay, wouldnt mind getting myself one of these
This is the guy that makes the pipe beaders, seems hes away on holiday soon but drop him an email and see what he says

Just finished the 4 other pipes today, its such a good piece of kit. Definitely worth every penny, no questions, and now no more boost pipes popping off.
So this happened...
Stage 2 on Ko3s, and after a few initial uncertainties I'm now very happy with the results, got it scanned and logged on Vagcom by a very helpful buddy the other night and its all good, no worries at all which makes a nice change.
Peaks at 1.4bar and holds steady at 1.1 way past 5500rpm. Going to get a Revo SPS on it and fiddle about with the boost settings so should get it holding a healthy 1.2bar.
Log and graph from the loggings...

Not sure on bhp yet mate, organising a RR day so will have to wait til then. Iv got a figure i'd 'like' it to make but depends on dyno too
Very stupidly today Iv finally managed to strip out the headlining and pillars for wrapping. Not something I recommend doing with a hangover though, sweaty mess.
Gonna enjoy its rattles for a while til i can be arsed to put it back in

Changed the rear brakes yesterday... Don't think they've been doing much for a while
