Last night put NGK BKR7EiX plugs in and fitted green panel filter and the car drives mint. On the way to work this morning gave a focus st a run for its money! he couldn't accelerate with me but gained on top end about 140mph.

would hope so, although tbh would have reckoned an ST2 would pull on an otherwise standard cupra since even if this fella was running 10bhp over standard with just a new air filter, still be over 50odd bhp difference and at a guess the ST would still have more power over weight

i think his car actually running more than the power in his sig, was there when it was rolling roaded, i had mine done at same time. so rollers aint wrong.

we investigated into why it was so low on power. one of boost pipes was worn and think was leaking! should be running around 190 bhp now at a guess!

so probably was a new ST was racing. ;)

Yeah it was the new ST (220bhp) and it was 5.30am! Since RR results i've added: forge 007, forge TIP, BKR7EiX Plugs, green filter, N249 bypass. Car is also remapped. As ian said i had a few problems on the RR day.
