performance

On last nights "Fifth Gear" they were testing performance Diesel fuels and had a humble Citroen C5 estate on the Dyno. Std Supermarket fuel gave 155 Bhp, whereas Shell V Power and BP Ultimate Diesel both gave 161 Bhp. I was wondering if you FR Tdi boys had noticed a difference ? Pity...

Strange one, i checked my oil wednedsay night as i thought it might be a bit low, as expected, it was just under the hatching on the stick (engine was hot, just switched off) So i left it an hour, came back, dipped it, and it was 1/3 - 1/2 the way up, so i bought 2 litres, slapped just over a...

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...

Hi all, Hope you've had a good christmas. Since fitting my cold air intake induction, the low rev grunt is pretty awesome, and you can really hear the 007p now. I am however unsure about performance since fitting it. I'm not sure if it's just me, but the car seems less 'urgent' to...

Hi All, I have read several post and am a bit new to performance modifications. I have a 57 Leon 2.0TSFI DSG and was wondering, starting with the base model, what modification people would recommend starting with (performance ONLY, not cosmetic). I see a REVO remap with the SPS (stage 1)...

I was going back to work today, just got out of my street, got into second and put my foot down. All of a sudden i heard a popping sound that came from the engine bay (or thats where i think it came from). I looked in my rear mirror and saw hudge clouds of black smoke. The car then lost...

Just had a new clutch and flywheel fitted under warranty at the dealers because the other had worn. Now, the car is remapped and it was always pretty quick however after getting it back it seems to be quite a bit more sluggish than before it went in! I was wondering if the parts might need to...

is it really worth getting one when you only have minimal mods, or is it better to wait till after my remap, will it make much of a difference

I've had my V5 for nearly 3 weeks now. It's a 99 T reg with 83k on the clock, so it's the older 10valve version with 150bhp. I have been keeping an eye on my fuel consumption and it says i am averaging about 26-28mpg per tank. When accelerating the consumption obviously increases. When i'm...

I'm due a new set of brake discs and pads all round on my 2001 Leon Cupra, and was considering buying grooved discs and performance pads. They certainly look better , but as I'm not driving hard most of the time, would braking be less effective if the discs\pads aren't reaching temperature...

Hi, I was on a private road last night and clocked a 0 - 100 time of 16.5 seconds in my TFSI FR. I did the run again in the opposite direction and got 16.3. I have a manual gear box and tbh if I was a better driver i am sure I could have got a better start and better gear changes. My...

Firstly before i get ripped to streds by some of you i have done a search, found alot about the ko3s hybrid but nothing about the ko3. I want to know if you would get the same performance results by making a hybrid turbo out of a ko3 as you would with a ko3s, im assuming you would as they are...
