Huge Amounts of Lag

Recommended Posts

Evening all, being a fabia VRS owner aswell and having nothing but crappy comments on the other forums i thought id post this for the fellow briskodians to see. 

 

Firstly I'm unsure of this has been posted in the right place if not admin please remove or advise where to post it.

 

Right here goes,

I'm in need of a second opinion on an issue with my ibiza cupra pd160.

I bought the car last week and instantly noticed a shed load of lag before boost of any kind. 

The car will not pull any boost untill 3000rpm and is a little dangerous when pulling out as it's completely flat untill 3k then it goes AWOL untill just over 4k then drops off again.

Now the guy I got it from said it was mapped by a local guy but I have no proof of this (Big mistake I no) but the way the car behaves says it's got a bad map on.

Now today I've gave the car a once over to check everything, all boost pipes are tight and sealed, egr is clean and tight, fmic is in decent condition with no holes or cracks, I did a Mr muscle clean on the turbo and the actuator moves as it should. 

My question is has the car got a bad map or is it likely to be something else? 

I don't have vcsd or access to it atall but I do have the original factory map and a copy of the map that's been loaded onto the car. 

Is anyone on here able to read the map if I was to send it over to see if everything is set correctly (unsure if this is possible) or if anyone is able to flash the original map back onto the car. 

It was intended to be my daily but is proving difficult having absolutely no power before 3000rpm.

Thanks in advance !!

(A picture of the car is attached, it had a seatcupra.net sticker in the window so if anyone knows any history of the car id be very grateful)

I've inspected the turbo and as far as I can see it's spot on. The turbo does spool but (as I've understood it) the actuator is open not allowing any boost to build untill the car reaches X amount of RPM which is when it closes producing boost.

 

I've had the map file looked at by a fellow forum member who knows what he's doing and to put it simply it's horrendous which explains a few running issues including the lack of lag up untill 3k.

 

Appreciate the reply!

And this is exactly what I'm trying to do chimaera, currently on the look for someone who can flash my stock map as garages want rediculouse amounts. 

 

Gissin I'm not sure if you have read my reply, the turbo has been taken off, cleaned and inspected. There is nothing wrong with the turbo. I've never had limp mode and there are 0 fault codes. 

 

The reason there was no codes posted is because there isn't any showing up.

Most independent mappers should easily be able to download and reflash  the stock map for around £200. That's what I did with mine. You'll need to search for local mappers and just ring them up and chat to them.
