James T's Mk5 Ibiza Cupra - Selling up - who wants my parts?
- Thread starter JamesT
- Start date
If we're talking peak power - 180 > 205bhp.
But the midrange increase as the turbo comes in is another story... Much higher torque.

It's not actually that bad. The only pain was mounting the IC in a place where it didn't hit the aircon rad, and getting the joining hoses the correct length to join the OE hoses.
Apart from that, the disassembly and putting back together were pretty simple!

Hi Matt,
Eibachs still hadn't arrived, after 8 weeks. They said it would be another 2 weeks making it 10, so I cancelled.
KW V1's on their way now as the lead time is 5-10 working days.
I don't know how I would answer the question about the Revo map being aggressive. Seems fine for me I love it. My soft misfires happen at low revs part throttle, so not even stressing the car at all!

Ah you'll have to let me know how you get on with them then, as I'm looking to get KW V1's as well.
Even slight misfires would worry me I think! Although, even though I have an early CAVE engine I barely use oil so I think a Revo may be on the cards.
Intercooler looks good too!

I bet everyones car does these soft misfires but they just don't know it. Not everyone has access to VCDS!
Get the Revo mate, you won't regret it, def worth investing in VCDS though.

Have you checked your total misfire count? Be interesting to see what the CAVE engine is like in that section.
Depends what you mean by "cope" mate.
It's all about preventing misfires when getting highly tuned. Stage 1 & 2 are fine (up to 220bhp). Once you start going to hybrid turbo territory (250-270bhp) your main battle is the misfires. Engine internals can take way over 300bhp so I hear.
Heat is also an issue on these engines, so the higher output ones have upgraded intercoolers and water meth injection too.

Booked in on Tuesday for fitment and alignment. I could fit them myself, just really...really...cannot be bothered

Well I'm sad to say suddenly the car needs to be sold, so all my mods are up for sale!
Any takers?
