Nice! Just be careful with that SR7 - I hear they are brutal and known to catch people out with their extreme levels of performance! I seem to remember Kia offering a performance driving course to better-prepare new drivers.
Noo drove off like the **** he is ! I'd like to hope so for sure it feels so much more powerful . I need to get dsg map reloaded though
Good news Alex,So update long awaited ...
@leshkin
Took the car to AMD as I had missfires across 3 cylinders . they checked fueling ,sparks e.c.t but I have suspected valve float ( very annoying )
So as per usual an upgrade is needed to cure the problem so currently being done to car :
APR lpfp as the ttrs is at the limit as tested by Apr
APR tte42o official map
APR uprated valves
spoken a lot to APR and the above is going to make the car a lot more solid and will be running a map for the tte turbo rather than the stage 2 + map that was never designed for it . I'm also getting the stage 2 spring fitted for the actuator on the turbo which was released after I had it fitted
figures from Apr on Link below . it's a good read

Hopefully this will cure the missfires but fairly 100 percent I have valve float so get that sorted and get the car more solid . watch this space
Alex
Think your push past the 420 mark ,I'll swap issues please haha . I think I should be around what I had before 420 bhp ish and 445 llbs . Yeah that would be good really want it fixed for the summer !
Think yours will be the cdl so in take more torque than my bhz engine,I hope so ! dsg map going back on it to but thinking about getting the Apr dsg map as looks good and more options . not sure what mine is ? big turbo is the next step . I'm happy to see the summer through as it is after this work is done ! . I'm going to sell it as won't have any need for it
Main reason I'm scared of pushing my bhp, so scared the box will **** itself. Sounds like you had a good bit of luck with a dealer! Mines only on 20k yet still panic one day the dsg will decide not to work, car is epic though pal
Mine is pre face lift so runs the bhz,What's the difference between bhz and cdl ? you'll enjoy the extra power it's a big step up from 2 + . I'm actually considering having it for the summer and selling but will be one hardest decisions to make because done nothing but looked after that car. only on 40k to !
Pretty safe under 400ft lb , trouble we have is if we put a tte420 on the numbers there pulling now are very close to us needing to go forged !Mines a 2007 pre face lift and im running 370bhp and 396 lbs
Bummer, hope this is the last surprise she throws at you mate
Mine is pre face lift so runs the bhz,
I think the cdl engine can take 550 ish ft lb before it needs to be forged where as mine is only about 440ft lb ,
Me to ! it'll be the whole engine next haha
Hi Alex,good to see you back.
I thought the cdl was the engine they run in the K1 Leon ?Not too sure about that to be honest.
I thought the cdl was the engine they run in the K1 Leon ?
Yeah fair point,What I'm saying is that 550lbs sounds an awful lot for a set of stock internals.
Not to say people may be trying that,but I'm not convinced of long term reliability....
There's a couple of K1 Leon's around that figure ,550ftlbs on Stock Internals? Who's running that?
Awsome news mate ! Mine was up there a month and couldn't believe yours was still up there when I collected it!**** UPDATE TIME *****
Call from AMD - they have fitted the APR LPFP , Stage 2 spring for the TTE420 Turbo actuator , APR TTE420 MAP & APR DSG MAP - Very APR but the good news is the car is not misfiring and running fine which is a huge relief as i wont have to spend a lot of money on the valve springs!!
I am going to buy the springs anyhow as this will be a job that i will get done in the future.
One thing on the brakes....Only done about 10K on the new brakes since new and the pads are completely worn so adding the Ferodo DS2500 and picking the car up Friday!
Not sure what was wrong - timing ? lpfp faulty? its a strange one but glad shes back on the road!
