Yes! The turbo produces more power but the best part of this car is that supercharger whine!

Ambient here is 32-35 deg C during daylight and drops to 23-25 deg C at night. While I don't have a cave or cthe engine I have a remapped cavd putting out 200 bhp approx which is close to stock vrs power output hence my questions on here. After the remap my temps have gone up generally to 93-95 degrees C when driving normally up to 70 mph and about 107-110 when driven in a sporty manner during the daylight. I was initially concerned with the temps as many say switch to colder plugs to reduce temps and also change oil. I'm using pentosin 5w40 Vw 502 approved engine oil and the latest spark plugs (03C905601B) with no issues so far. Is it really worthwhile switching plugs when our temps all seem to be within a certain range anyway? Also how do you guys know what the equivalent colder spark plug is? I've only found an ngk part number for this plug: SIZFR6B8EG and I have not found a way to compare it to other brands.

What are typical oil temperatures you see when giving normal and then spirited drives? Average ambient temperature would also be appreciated.

Do you guys do logs? I would like to measure the performance of the stock diverted compared to the gfb one I have to install. I'm guessing I need to log requested boost pressure and actual. Anything else?

Anyone researching wossner forged Pistons?

Dropped from the range but not for long. VW just announced a 1.0 tsi making 272 ps!!!!!!I kid you not. Turbocharger and electronic supercharger. Long live the twincharger!!!!

Vxh26 probably works for VAG.

I think he is critical of the manufacturer's responses more than just a criticism of the vRS. His view is shared by many owners who have actually had to deal with how the VW group responds to issues with respect to twinchargers in various states of tune. Gathering information helps actual owners as opposed to going to a dealer unaware of what might really be going on and what options are available. Dealers thrive on customers not knowing enough particularly when things break out of warranty.

What peeves me off more is that the twincharger has been around since 2006! You would have thought by now that the issues would have been completely sorted. For those saying that 20% failure isn't bad you need to research what is considered a "good" failure rate. 20% is ridiculous on such an expensive component as an engine. Let's not even go down the route of dsg either.

This is amazing. I always wondered why remapped cavd engines never had the oil consumption problems that cave ones did. It's mind boggling that the solution is an older part number. This reminds me of the mineral oil debacle for 7 speed dsg. It's shocking that it's taken vag group so many years to sort this out. What do they pick up in testing?!

I'm from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. Most times I am chill about potential issues as I don't have any of the warning signs but ever so often fellow owners down here post stories on forums that make me hmmm. Owners who only ever put Ron 95, never remapped so pushing 160hp and need engine rebuilds. So far this forum and the seatcupra forum have been most detailed about the actual issues. Surprisingly the Vw forums generally just have complaints with little remedies for the twincharger.

Nope. Got a Jetta. Yep running 95. The plugs I changed at the recommended service interval of 40,000 miles and they were clean. Reason why I am worried is because people seem to have ZERO warning before their car gets some sort of piston damage. We also only get two years warranty here and I am in my third year of ownership. Thanks for link on borescope.

Is there any way to clean valves or to check them for buildup? I have a cavd engine that's been remapped to about 195hp so I'm guessing I'm in the same boat as cave guys and these threads, while informative, are a bit scary.

I was thinking this as well but I see members on here swearing that nothing less than 98 should be used.

These Coilpacks fit the 1.4 tsi? All websites state that they are only for 2.0T?
