Hi

Does anyone know what the OEM turbo limit is in terms of bhp and torque?

Also, does anyone know the power limit for the stock injectors?

If I wanted a remap to say 180bhp and 320lb/ft, would the OEM turbo and injectors be able to cope? (This assumes that those powers levels could be reached in the first place, via a remap and improved intercooler and air intake etc).

Or would I be better uprating these items to say the Ibiza Cupra turbo?

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Its a bit of a "how long is a bit of string" scenario.

180 and 320 are acheivable fairly easily, but not many mappers will give you 320 ft/lb on the standard clutch as you will munch it up pretty rapidly.

A map on its own will take you up to your desired figures, standard injectors (using only diesel) max out around 220 bhp but to get there you need exhaust/turbo/map/clutch/preferably FMIC/decent air intake

Thanks

Yeah, I have a fair idea of how to get those figures with uprated clutch and exhaust etc, but am wondering how the stock turbo and injectors will cope with the higher power? I don't really want to go for a bigger turbo because I like the lack of lag with the stock turbo.

in that case get a custom map and your mapper will map your car safely within the limits of your current setup. Expect 170-180 bhp and 270-300 ft/lb.

but to be honest you get very little extra lag with an upgraded(Stage1-2) turbo, and sligltly more with a FMIC due to the increase in air volume.

Ok, cheers!
