hey people this is my first post so please bare with me.
I drive a seat Leon 1.8T AUQ, I recently bought it couple months back. It’s ment to be standard apart from the Interior seats and a remap.
So far I’ve replaced a lot of those Standard breather pipes, gave it a service filters oil plugs. Fitted cat back exhaust straight through, fitted boost gauge in drives side window air vent. All Runs good have a little noise coming from a belt which I believe to be the timing belt so next job will be belt pump tensioner change.
What my issue is my boost is holding 25 psi and boosts great but looking into the post etc in here I see a standard 1.8t cupra boost holds around 8-10psi, and remapped stage 1 would spike at 18 boost hold about 15psi and stage 2 spikes 23-25 holds 20 roughly.(readings if correct is what I’ve read online)
I’m trying to get a idea on, if mine is stage one why is boost so high it boosts up to 25psi through all gears. It does sometimes get spikey on the gauge can hear boost come and go and sometimes I hit the 4000rpm mark on full throttle and feels like car has died and all powers gone turbo gauge drops completely change gear and off we go again.
In past couple of days the traction control light flickers now when the above mentioned happens so after reading up am I right to believe maybe the maff sensor needs to be replace ??
It don’t feel like it’s a stage 2 but feels like stage 1, well to me feels like it as it’s quicker then my A4 2.0tfsi BUL 225 BHP pulls a lot quicker
Also the turbo sometimes goes into limp mode and only boosts 5psi reset the engine it’s back to normal well not limp mode anyways lol
I know I could do with sticking it on vag com as I hear that a need for these type of engines if any one in North Yorkshire has one and wouldn’t mind be much appreciated.
Also if anyone has any ideas why it boosts so high I’d be grateful to hear them.
Thanks Daz

on near full throttle and I let off throttle and go again
