Just brought a LC, advice!

Alright

This is my first Seat, let alone LC.
I came from driving a mk 4 golf V6 4Motion, so feeling a bit down on power atm!

It's 180bhp standard i guess, ive fitted a forge split-r DV & a full RamAIR induction kit.

What other fairly simple mods can i do before a re-map/ new turbs?

Not being silly with power figures, looking for 220/230 max

ALSO!!! the Forge split-r has an adjustable pre-loader on the top, anyone have a clue how to get the best out of it?? (running hybrid 50:50 atmospheric & recirculating)

Forge TIP, exhaust system, FMIC etc. Has it been serviced recently? If it hasn't, an oil and filter change and some new spark plugs wouldn't go amiss

a remap will see you to that power, custom code charge £305 inc vat and will get you to about 220bhp

Has got fsh up to 4k ago, but prob could do with a service. Im guessing a forge TIP would be less restrictive than stock? Does it make much difference changing it?

Thought about a 4bar FPR, would it just overfuel without a map for that amount of fuel?

 

[gezmeister]

The standard tip is prone to collapsing after a remap, so it's worthwhile getting it done first

Bigger downpipe/ sports cat + stage 2/custom remap should see 235/240 on an 2001+ car.
about the max before changing tubbys.

Mine had original tip and had no problems.

Don't fit a 4bar FPR without a map.....and you don't need one with most maps.

Stage 1 will see 205-220

stage 2 will see 220-240

Bit of a dyno lottery tho as some people get more of less than those figures

revo stg 2 needs a 4bar fpr? or is revo not the one to go for?

Do any of you lot know about DV's??

I.E. How to configure my split-r with the prelude adjuster?

Ive got a couple of backbox's lying around, there new, got a powerflow one, looks much like a lcr bb and a mongoose twin (looks like the standard LC). Rekon either would make the slightest diff? I don't want people to look at me like im a c**t though

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Revo need the FPR I think AMD do to? most of the others dont as far as I'm aware.

Revo is quite aggressive, depends what your after.

I think theres a guide to fitting the split r valve up? might be worth looking in the Forge section.

I don't think you'd get any gains with a backbox to be honest, its the front pipe and cat thats restrictive.

This weather makes quite a difference too
