TIP On 225 LCR

[tel19]

Hi All,
Today i fitted a THS tip, the car was remapped by amd last week and whislt there they fitted a forge valve, anyway i fitted the tip which was a doddle, but now the car does not feel as quick or the turbo don't feel so strong, there's no leaks etc!!! Is this what normally happens, or will the map adapt to the tip being fitted????

check all the pipework again, and also th dv and pipework, you may has midlodged something, split a pipe etc.. also check the top of the forge dv is done up. (not overtight though)

As the guy's ahve said above, check all you pipe's and if it's still not right give AmD a bell, they will be able to run log's to see if there is a problem.

when you open the air flow up you do loose some low end torque, it may be this your feeling, you will gain bhp though, how do you know you dont have a leak??

I think you could be right i took the car out yesterday, it doesn't seem to kick as strong as before but the speedo shot up at a fair rate, i'll see how i get on with it and maybe take it back to amd on the seat cupra day in september

Losing low end torque (but making gains at the top end) is usually something that you get with a free-flowing exhaust (and the reduced back pressure) isn't it? Would a better intake also cause this?

When I uprated the TIP I thought there was no difference, but now I think you get slightly more turbo spool-up sound.
