Cupra intakes on a FR derv

[Hudson]

Guys and gals

This topic has been covered many times, is there a significant improvement with swapping the standard fr intake for the larger cupra ones - I will also be fitting a green cotton filter.

Whats ort of improvement am i looking at.

What about if you're doing other mods, such as mapping etc

'Every little helps', as it were.

yes it might help increase air in. but your only likely to gain 2-5ish bhp out of it

Ok... so if you had the car mapped and did the intake mod... and had it decatted... and got rid of the EGR as well... what kind of extra gains overall would you get (ignoring the extra BHP from the actual mapping).

I'm just curious at the mo as to what to bother doing bar the obvious, as in getting it mapped, to my car in order to get sensible gains for minimal effort / cost.

Would like a Forge FMIC, but they're not exactly cheap.

well my FR tdi '57' plate remapped to 180bhp with just a green panel filter which is pretty good haha.

think of it this way a green filter and pd160 intake will give you at max 5bhp like an induction kit.

decatting, removing EGR your still only going to gain prob 10bhp max tbh. the key thing is it make the breathing system less restrictive which mean the turbo will spool quicker giving you less turbo lag.

if you want a front mount buy the seat sport one from a cupra and a forge pipe work kit as it has been proven to be good for over 300bhp and runs cooler then the forge one and its cheaper

so if you did the decat and EGR removal you only likely to make at a push 190bhp on a stage one map, if you have the later BLT engine

how much does the seat sport fmic cost all in then?? does it fit behind the pre facelift fr bumper??

I've got the ASR engine in mine.

Should be getting it mapped in the next couple of days, all being well.

My Passat 130 mapped to 173bhp and that felt pretty quick to be honest, and did me proud on a trackday compared to stuff like Saxos etc.

I'm not fussed about getting *massive* amounts of power out of this... the Passat to be honest was pretty much spot on for my needs poke wise, as in it was a lot more flexible than standard once mapped as well as quicker, yet still did 50+mpg if you drove it sensibly... but if I can get more reliable power out of this for minimal effort then I might as well get it.

i think you lot have answered my questions. The plan is to get a jabba remap in a few months once the house is paid for and turbo lag does chuff me off so I'll plum for the intake once its remaped.

i think it does. you might need to remove some plastics behind the bumper at worse.

so how do i go about finding the stuff i searched for the forge pipes but couldn find them!!??
