ok I bought the cupra a month or two ago as a bit of a project, and luckily ive been looking at it that way as its costing a fortune at the mo!
Anyway it felt not a massive amount faster than my k03s & as some of you may know i made a thread a while ago about the lack of turbo noise...
Ok i decided to get it RR'd to see if it was running right & the outcome shows a problem somewhere, the car has no faults on VAGCOM at all & is still fast dont get me wrong! It has an IHI VF34 with a chargecooler & all the usual mods....apparently the guy put it on a low map of around 330-340ish.
When the car reached high revs on the dyno whitey/blueish smoke started coming out of the exhaust, and as he let off quite a large ploom came out....if you rev the car at stand still there is NO smoke at all....on the way home i did notice when booting it in 5th i could see some blue smoke in through the back window....
Any ideas what it could be? i was thinking worn turbo? but would that explain such a massive loss of performance
The overall result was
- 283.5 bhp @ 6600rpm & 256lbft of torque...
- 1.2 bar of boost from 3700rpm - 5200rpm then tails off to around 1.1 bar
