Just had mine remmaped (well i swapped ecu's to an apr'd 1) and i cant get over how much different the car is, it suprises me more and more when driving it, so much car for the money....

Hi Guest we, are working on an upgrade to the forum this week, meaning the service may be unreliable at times and there will be some planned downtime at some point. Stay updated on this thread.

Guest, 🚨New Stock alert: Premium CUPRA valve caps now available in the store 👉 Order now from the merchandise store
Tom mine sounds yours, its having the same problems, since being revo'd the car wont make the full 22psi at the first spike when nailing it and it only gets as high as 15psi max, i had two faults logged the other day which Grant quickly read for me as Fuel pressure too low and fuel too lean, im thinking its a MAF problem combined with something else, the car is still quick but not as quick as it could be

Tom, it'll run slightly rich with the MAF unplugged so long term driving may screw your cat.
Kev, have you decided what you're doing with the car yet? Keeping the E05?

Putting in my spare engine, tidying everything up. Replacing all hoses, pads etc. then selling her. I'll probably get another 'track' car over the summer at some point, until then I'll have to use the Evo on track as well. Quite fancy a westie race car at the mo. We'll see whether I decide to buy a house or not first. Little bro's buying my Cordy off me so that's one of them shut of!
dodgy maf gave me a lean code. Really should log the maf values ee what your pulling. I was pulling 90g/s max!
Tom are your coilies fitted now then?Who fitted them? Got a quote of £200 plus VAT from westec which scared me a bit.
Def. fitting them with a mate on Sat now..

No aint fitted them yet, could do with fitting them though! Was gonna either get my mate to do it, or do it myself.
I'll give Vag-Com a go tonight,or in the next few nights.
Kev, your's is the cupra with the awesome rollcage isnt it?
Dont sell it, keep it!
Thats cracking inspiration that motor is!

Its great when its running right. I have only had it in my possesion for 3 weeks this year. The other 4 weeks it has been at jabba awaiting repair.
I do enjoy mine and its the only car ive had that still suprises me after a year. 2nd gear in freezing temperatures when the boost surges in is always good. However, mine only has a remap and i still break traction in 2nd and even in 3rd in the wet, in a straight line, so I just find it pointless modding it anymore. Savage in a straight line, yes, but I want to be able to put my power down. I will be sad to see mine go in a couple of weeks, as it has been very reliable and as has been said, for the money it's an absolute rocket. I do think I'm a N/A engine fan though to be honest. Nothing beats the instant pickup and response.
At the end of the day, the lure of rear wheel drive and non 4 cylinder engines has drawn me away, but I still think the cupra is as cracking a car, as the first day I got it.

My ihi covers ground quicker from standstill onwards simply because the power does not all come straight in.
bezzaboy, be sure to let us know of your figures! I'm looking for a suitable turbo upgrade, bit more than 03s offers without IHI. AM04 or JBS04 fit the bill well!
How long has it been there for the conversion Bezza? What other bits and bobs did you have fitted before the conversion?
