When I bought my cupra I got revo stage 1 and when put on the rollers it only out out 174hp. It was all down to the fact the intercooler is too small for the amount of boost revo set therefore too much heat soak! I've since out a tip and blueflame cat back system on which saw an increase to...
Its funny you bring the thing up about the golf being loud. I run a turbosmart duelport like myki my mate has a 007 on his golf, we have the same mods including open cone and map and his is much louder even though its recirculating. Mine is loud but his is just rediculous!!:D
Hey ricki how does the car drive?? I'm sure strapper had the same codes (I'll need to check with him), his car felt like there was no turbo, the car didn't boost!! Turned out the nut came off the wastegate!:lol:
I run the same set up as B3NNY, JR filter with 70mm 45 degree silicon bend and forge tip, sounds awesome! My mate runs the same on his mk4 golf and ive yet to hear an atmospheric sound louder than his!The suction sound is immense also and the filter was only around £35 :D
Yeah there notorious for crumbling with age causing boost leaks meaning lack of power. I changed all of mine to 3mm silicon hosing, you can also use 4mm though :)
Hey Eck let us know how you get on when you put it on the rollers! I'm going to a rr day at dastek on 1st Dec with a few cupra with different maps. Would be good to see how they all compare
Hey sorry to hear that! It looks like you were lucky!
I had that problem with insurance when my sis wrote off my mk2 golf. Because it was fully comp they paid out for the car but wouldn't sell it back to me! There reason being it was unrepairable so they wanted it scrapped.
Here's a link for a pictues of the car!His brother posted these not sure if he's a member himself!

I have noticed on a few occasions when its a cold and I'm giving it some the gauge drops a bit, not to 60 though! As soon as you slow down or pull over it creeps back to bang on 90! Ive never been too concerned as a mates does it as well! I would panic if it went above 90!
I really like them in anthracite but on a silver car they look really small! I'd like to refurb them silver but scared they look c**p with a shiny finish!
