Subtle performance upgrades to FR TDi??

[Sl8er]

Hi,

After having my Mk1 Cupra TDi re-mapped and having loads of issues with it I have been put off making any upgrades to my 07 FR TDi but now that I've been driving it a year I've caved in!!

However, I'm not sure which slight tweaks are best.... I've just put in a Pipercross panel filter but i've kind of stalled there!

Are there any other minor upgrades that I can make to the car, aside from full induction kit and re-map, that are worth doing?

Hopefully this isnt too stupid a quetsion and some of you will have some ideas!

Thanks
Si

A remap is the only simple thing that will get you more power.

What problems did you have with you mk1? Mine was fine.

Don't bother with the intake unless you are going to remove the DPF and get M O R E power [ diesel intake systems are much bigger than petrol because the diesels suck in more air in the first place]

I had it re-mapped by Celtic tuning and after about 10k miles (of mostly motorway driving) the clutch had completly gone.

I think I should have opted for a more sensible power gain from my remap!
