HI all, Recently bought myself a Leon Cupra 1.8t (180bhp) on a 51 plate in superb condition, it had all the front bumpers upgraded to facelift ones, been dropped 30mm with some chrome 17's and been well looked after. I must say after thinking that the TCS was off when the light is out on the...

Right boys and girls its time for me to get rid of the old abf engine in my mk2 and go for some boost. i've decided to do the common conversion and drop the 1.8t in since it couples nicely with the existing gearbox and isn't too heavy on the pocket.:p Any tips from anyone that has done the...

Evening all I've managed to get a metal pancake pipe from a seat leon cupra 1.8t 180bhp model. Looking at pics on the Internet of it, it did look very restrictive, but now seeing it in person, it is actually like twice the size of my plastic pancake pipe. Now what do I need to do to fit this...

Mainly interested in the boost control system (N249 and assorted hoses etc.) I've found 3 but none of them seem correct (for different version of the 1.8T I expect) For reference here is an image of the LCR N249 hoses shamelessly nicked from the excellent N249 guide This looks...

Hi all! I have finally got round to getting the polo sorted again, thought I would make a new thread so all comments and opinions welcome After making 400hp @ 1.7bar (gt3071r 0.62 a/r) and losing soo much oil I decided it was time to open the engine and see whats whats. I checked...

Anyone got one of these on their LC? I know its a bad idea to have the DUMP VALVE - as it doesnt work well, most people go for the Forge DV.....but has anyone opted for this? :think: http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/product.php?xProd=7743&xSec=349

Well we all have to start somewhere and here's mine. please excuse the sunshades, the missus thinks there 'nice', i'd prefer tints! As you can see, pretty much standard at the moment apart from the Green Dynatwist air filter and a Forge 007p diverter valve. On its way is a DV coldside...

Hi Guys Had the Cupra remapped again and this time got all the issues resolved and all seems well so far... its much quicker than I was expecting to be honest with the map being very aggressive with how the turbo spools up and makes for an exciting drive :D Quick question though for people...

I am considering trading my 07 leon fr tdi for an ibiza cupra 1.8t as i am not doing the mileage to warrant having a diesal anymore, and also im tired of the diesel drone lol. I want to save on the monthly payments on my car aswell but want something reasonably quick at the same time. I want to...

As per the title really. Wanting to know if the 1.8T Cupra uses a cambelt, which requires changing at 60k or if it uses a timing chain thats good for 120k. My mates booked in for cambelt doing, but been told by a local SEAT dealership, that its on a timing chain, and deosnt require changing...

First and foremost big thanks the Liam “lm_gauci” for recommending me to Roscoe for a full Paint Correction Detail on his Black Audi A3 1.8T. This has been on the cards since last year however a combination of bad weather and time constraints delayed this detail until now. This wasn’t a problem...
