As per the title I'm trying to find out as much information as possible on the 2016 Ibiza Cupra 1.8 tsi engine (EA888 1.8 gen 3)
I have done a lot of searching on the forum and Google but not come up with much.
The stage 1 remaps available range from 220bhp-252bhp which is quite a range. I know to get the 252bhp it just requires the car to be mapped on 99ron fuel as opposed to 95.
So far I've ordered a panel filter to replace the OEM paper filter as I've read the stock airbox is more than upto the task. I read somewhere that it has around 15% more capacity than the Mk7 Golf GTI's.
I basically want to get the most from a stage 1 remap but at the same time want the car to do it as easily and reliably as possible so need to know what can be improved.
1. Airflow (panel filter)
2. How restrictive is the OEM exhaust system?
3. How good is the OEM intercooler? (Is it good enough for stage 1 power)
4. How good is the OEM wastegate? (Would an after market one be more reliable, perform better?)
I know I've asked a lot of questions, its my first forced induction petrol car.
Thanks in advance.
James.
