Hi, I’ve had my VRS for over 3 years now and I’m only just wondering if it’s got a bad map in the car. There’s been 7 owners and the turbo blew up into 22 pieces (don’t have a pic sadly)  since it’s been in my parents possession. Basically upon turbo lag the car seems to inject more fuel then lots of smoke appears. I know it’s normal for this car to smoke and it lets a lot smoke out on setting off depending on how aggressively you press the accelerator.

 

I’ve browsed around and haven’t seen anything about smoke on turbo lag so I was wondering if it’s a bad map since it’s had 6 previous owners. Im in the mindset that it’s a stock PD130 although the old turbo that blew up could say otherwise. Sadly that was 2 years ago and I recon that a stock turbo was the replacement of the one that blew.

 

Also 0-60 is roughly about 1.2 secs slower than a normal one.

Don't do 0-60 unless you wanna buy a new clutch and fly, the gearbox isn't very strong either.

 

Sounds like a terrible map, get it reflashed.

Enough said I think.
