not seen it go yet though unfortunatelyWas out in the car earlier and was sitting about 40ish in a 60 went to give it some death........... nothing 5psi of boost but after 10 mins of slow driving it started boosting properly again, any ideas?
Possibly the MAP sensor? You said you didn't use the adapter that came with the pipe, so the sensor will be directly in the airflow. I used the adapter, and my sensor sits just on the edge of the pipe.. no issues yet and I've given mine some stick. 
I was thinking that aswell mate but its all fine now car is kind of doing my head in just now anyways so im gonna neglect it for a while then get the blowing manifold sorted really need a break from it ![[:@]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/furious.gif "Furious [:@]")
car is kind of doing my head in just now anyways so im gonna neglect it for a while then get the blowing manifold sorted really need a break from it Ah thats bad news Is it the standard manifold still? I can't remember if you have a hi-flow one or not. I had the same feelings with my car when I had all the turbo problems, I just felt like giving up, but perseverance pays off and now my car is running nicely so I hope the same happens for you.
Good luck with the issues!

Don't think it will be the map sensor cos Teresa two different types according to kris. Gonna try mine tomorrow and see If the early cupras have the sensors that don't need the adapter.
Where's the manifold blowing? Don't give up on the car though!

Ive got the INA high flow manifold and ever since it got put on ive had nothing but problems, i reckon its just the gasket thats gone but i think im gonna send my standard one off to Bill to get ported then put that back on as it will be a tight fit!
Im not gonna give up on the car im just gonna leave it for a wee while then sort it!

Who's Teresa?
Ah, I had an INA manifold for my car but I never fitted it as it needed grinding to make it fit. I don't see why a "bolt on" product needed to be modified to fit so I sold it and am still on my standard manifold. Aside from Ric (who I sold my mani to), I can't think of one other person on here thats had no problem with an INA manifold. Feel free to point them out if they exist tho!
I'll have to look into porting the standard one, I didn't realise you could do that. Will be interesting to see how it compares to a high flow jobby!
Haha supposed to say there's two stupid iPhone!
If someone has a spare standard one laying about I can get them ported
stupid iPhone! If someone has a spare standard one laying about I can get them ported

How much?
I've got one in the shed
I don't want one, mines staying in one piece hopefully! Was just for anyone else who wanted it doing
Send me a pm about getting one ported Scott i have the standard one in the hut and would like to get it back on the car to sort this crap out really beyond a joke losing roghly 5psi of boost aswell now....... could a leaking manifold cause that?
cars looking good mate! you have done most of the mods that i am considering doing to mine! just got to get the money together and actually do it! one question though
obviously, the upper pipe is the forge pipe that they have released, but where did you get the lower pipe from?? or am i just being a complete tool and thats the standard pipe!! lol

Standard pipe Jay! That forge upper one is a good bit of kit, I'd recommend.
In that picture your pipe is sitting miles above the crashbar, you must have had to cut all that bracket off to get the bumper back on? Or did you push it down after the pic?
Just got your pm back and end of September will be fine for doing the manifold mate can send it down whenever though and it can get done then pay when you have the cash. Just need them gaskets!

im my defence i have spent the last year in australia and havent touched my car at all!! lol im defo interested in getting that pipe as well as a few others! have had a look on the Forge website and i reckon i could spend about £500 in not even 5 mins!! Lol just a shame i dont have £500 to spend otherwise i would!! Lolbut thanks for letting me know anyway!
The pipe sits more in line with the crash bar now Scott as i had the bumper off again today and refitted it, had to make adjustments as the car went into limp mode twice since installing the pipe! You can see in the pic how much ive cut away where the pipe bends i kind of got carried away with an angle grinder
I havnt cut any off at all where you have in that picture haha I had my pipe sitting right ontop of the crash bar though and cable tied down.hopefully will all be sorted now!
