Queen's Cupra - My build thread
- Thread starter queen
- Start date
I forgot to update my thread. Some weeks ago I changed my DV with the upgraded forge. It makes a difference especially in digs and also there's no stalling in shifting. The blow off sound is very different too. Here are some pics and a video. Oh in the second picture you can see the size of my almost invisible turbine wheel compared to my car key

I'll be back with a stage 2 maybe stage 2+... we'll see

Waiting for my stage 2, I decided to dyno my car to see the after gains. Temperature and humidity level aren't the best but they'll do.
I have to admit that I was surprised along with my tuner and the people working at the dyno.
May I remind you that I'm still a stage 1 Revo (file 3) with custom carbon intake, Forge DV and custom intercooler.
This is maha rollers so bare in mind that we look only at the first number (red line on the graph) for bhp (DIN corrected).
The car has received a fair amount of fine tuning.
milltek tbe, forge wastegate and iridium spark plugs to be fitted soon.
Dare I say 255+ bhp?

Got my stage 2 installed today, milltek tbe exhaust, forge wastegate, iridium plugs (NGK BKR7EIX). I also had the rear diffuser and inserts painted gloss black.
It hasn't adapted yet but my first impressions are great sound on idle, nice burbling while cruising and amazing pops on shifts!
It feels way faster, I can't wait to see by how much...
Visually it looks better and gloss black diffuser suits very well with my gloss black rear wing.
Here are some pics and I'll post a video with the sound in a few days.
That's my wastegate, you can see a bit of my DV on top too.

Very very nice queen. The milltek system is quite amazing on these cars. the rear should have come gloss from the factory as far as I am concerned lol.
Back with my stage 2 dyno. Due to summer coming, along with high temps the tune runs quite safe, so this power was expected. I was impressed by the torque which although less as a number, it holds for a whole 3000 rpm range. New dyno will follow in winter with more aggressive settings, along with a small mod that will help the car run more smoothly.
A small break from vacations and back to tuning...
AEM boost and EGT gauges installed in the center air vents. My number one concern was the functionality of the vents, so I chose to go with the OSIR pods (originally meant for the mk2 TT), which we had to change a little bit for a right fit.
The sensors to the left and right of the photo:
We chose to get our readings from the dp.
The gauges with the lights off:
With the lights on:
During the day, the gauges have a very soft light. In the evening when you turn the lights on, the light gets gradually stronger, and when you switch them off, the gauges dim back to their softer light.
I really like the result and most of all that the functionality of the air vents remains intact. ^_^

Looks awesome mate!! Like the gauges!! You mention you have a forge waste gate? Is it this you have? - http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=190105&product=FMDVATSI
