I've got the same Bailey's on mine at the moment. Only done a few hundred miles on it, and it 'drives' fine, just like it used to. Obviously what's going on inside is another question, but I was curious. A friend of mine had one spare so we tried it out, but I'll be taking it off.
Basically the only way you can actually run an atmospheric DV is to change the ECU so it's running a MAP instead a MAF, so it can adjust the fuelling. I know of Golf's/TT's that run BOVs but they run DTA management so it's not a problem. I also got told that the standard VW/AUdi 1.8T ECU's are different to the SEAT ones.
Strike, if you're getting a FMIC off A&M i'd get their CAI as well and put the recirc on, as this will sound just as good.
Can't remember who it was, but I'm sure it was on a thread on here too...
Take you say that's not correct then. I believed it as I've seen plenty of Mk4 Golf's 1.8T's with atmos DV's, there was a few at VW Festival the other month. The blue one in Performance VW this month also runs one, and there was one at Tatton Park this weekend.
The Seat Ibiza ECU is more 'Fiddly' has more safety features than other Vag ECU's was sort of a prototype. So even less likely to work. Ive been on this site for 3/4 years and as Mork and other guys said, Its been tried and tested many times over many years ago.
I myself have tried it, Tried to GFB hybrid valves and HKS valve. Didnt work. Also know a local guy who ran a bailey and thought it was fine, Until he started eating lambda probes due to overfueling.
Plus I bet if you take it off and put stock one on you Will notice reduced lag, quicker spool and goes better between gears. One of those things u notice when u take it off
