1k to spend, advice

[thebeno]

Now then...

Totally standard TDI150 Cupra. Would like to get a remap from Mr.Bell and a panel filter, so that leaves me with roughly £650 to spend.

So, what are the options?

Clutch or Suspension or something else, what do you think?

Without a doubt, front and rear anti-roll bars.

I'm in the same situation but may well spend a bit more!

See this post What To Do for some advice on what people recommended to me.

Clutch 1st, then if your going with Mr Bell, get a slightly more aggressive map, Whats left get a green panel filter, and ARB's with anything left.

 

[satilaboy]

short shift is a great mod and will only cost about £70-£100.

 

[thebeno]

Are the ARB's recommended, how much do they cost and what benefits do they give?

Clutch without a doubt.

Then remap, as said, more aggressive map to use the clutch abilities... then i would mufflerectomy (£60) and panel filter.

Then save up for 312mm brake upgrade and suspension upgrades!

ARB's would be my choice. It was one of the last mods I done but if I had of known it would make so much difference I would have got them much sooner. Enjoy the remap

Have a read of Rudd's suspension guide at the top of this forum, and do a search and all will be revealed

you could get a forge FMIC, short shifters, dogbone mount and a full set of hoses

you wouldn't get much change from £1k though

If your getting a remap from Pete @ Bell Auto's - you will DEFINITELY need a clutch upgrade !!

I had a mild map put on mine from Pete, & the clutch went pretty quickly. After I got the Sachs racing clutch, Pete put a more aggressive map on mine, and it totally blew the old one away.

You will need to put a few quid towards the clutch though mate.......

You'll get more change if you join in the group buy on the Forge FMIC's that's currently running

1k still wouldn't cover all the hoses though

but yeah, get on the GB. think we only need 4 more

Well the TDI has a more than capable FMIC on the TDI STANDARD... so doubt there is a need, and unless your running silly pressures on a upgraded turbo, hoses standard are fine on a TDI, as for the short shifter, i think thats one think you need to buy on a TDI to quicken the 0-60 time... dog bone mount is also worth it, just have to bear with the shakes for a little while, while the mount softens a little at the beginning..
