Hi all,
I have recently bought the MK4 Ibiza 1.8T Cupra 180 bhp, and now I want to start modifying it. My aim is to achieve 250-260bhp. I lack knowledge on this topic, so feel free to share your opinions on the subject.
To achieve 250 hp, I feel the best option would be to get the standard Cupra k03s Turbo Hybrid’d with a K04. I Believe the benefits of this is that it’s a straight swap with the standard turbo, unlike doing a costly k04 upgrade, due to changing the downpipe and manifold.
I Appreciate I would see a lot more performance if I combined the Hybrid turbo upgrade with other modifications such as, 3” downpipe, High flow Manifold, Bigger Intercooler etc. But I want to modify it in parts at a time, as I can’t afford to carry out the work all in one job lot.
I feel to start with the following modifications would be most benefitial, and are most crucial
Hybrid K03s Turbo
Intake system
LCR Fuel Pump
LCR 3” MAF HOUSING
TIP
Remap to suit
(very similar to the LCR K04 setup)
Any idea what sort of gains i would exspect from such mods?
Cheers
Sev
