performance

Hi chaps. DON'T FLAME ME STRAIGHT AWAY :) I've done the reading up on here regarding the Revo map (stage 1) for the LCR. People stating you'll get circa 265 BHP. That's great! My question is, I've seen it mentioned a few times, and on peoples sigs that they're running a revo map and...

Hi guys Anyone know where can I buy these tyres : BF Goodrich G-Force T/A Drag ?? I would be very greatfull for any tips. best regards Rad

OK history of the problem is....car was left a couple of weeks and the battery went low enough to lose the radio code. Took off the Battery, charged it, put it back on, car started, no probs, but on driving it felt as if the turbo was not working....disconnected the MAF and no...

Hey peeps Ok - with reference to PANEL filters only please: Is there any real difference between the major performance panel filters available? There is, as far as I know, filters from: Green K&N BMC Pipercross Now, I wanted a Green Panel filter. However, they are...

Hey all. Am looking to get a full performance exhaust system on my 8v Cupra sport, but have no idea which one would be the best out of all of those available. Can anyone let me know which one is best? I've been told to avoid Magnex, as it has a really loud rattle around the handbrake area...

I know that in winter your car is supposed to drive better, but mine seems like it has really opened up. I can tell there is cold air coming in via the intakes as the engine seems more beefy when I rev it - it actually turns heads! Car acceleration also seems quicker. Today I made mince meat...

Just wondering, what would the difference in performance be with a boot install weighing the car down. Its a 20vt (180) with revo. In the boot there is a double 12 inch sub box and an amp rack with 3 amps in it. Will it even make a difference to the 0-60 times?:shrug: :confused:

Been searching the usual performance specialists and although they have an upgrade for the MK1 Leon TDi cannae seem to find any for the new 2.0TDi? The remap has worked wonders and with 194BHP I'm more than satisfied with overall performance but the standard twin exhaust is looking a little...

Hi everyone, recently i've noticed a slight lack of power from my car. When i took it to VW to get it serviced i had them run i diagnostic check on the vehicle checking for any obvious faults. "the top technician" said he couldnt find anything wrong with the car Anyway, the more and more i...

I've been reading loads this afternoon about remaps, ARB's, exhausts etc etc in a vein attempt to work out what, if anything, I want to do to my LCR. I'd like to hear opinions on two possible mod's, so I have a simple question to put to you all... Which one of these would you chose, why...

Hi, I just ordered my Leon Cupra and will have it in my hands on January 25th. Now as I understand it has a detuned S3 motor i.e. K04 turbo and strengthen engine internals which leaves tuning the way to go. Does anyone have an idea if 300hp will be feasible with just an ecu upgrade or will a...

What is the best cat back system for my LCR? the best fit, sound etc and what sort of power gains am i likely to get if any? Do i go for a one or two box system for noise?:think:

Hi all, i am a new Leon Stylance 1.6 owner and today i went to the dealer for the first service around 1500km. I had a feeling that something was not going fine and i asked them to check the wheel alignment....and i was right. The toe was out of range -0,2 (Left) +0,2 (Right) which is...

ANY BODY FITTED ONE OF THESE TO THERE 150BHP TDI'S?? DO YOU THING THEY'D BE ANY GOOD???? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=010&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=200048311607&rd=1&rd=1 :seatgod:

I've posted before about this, but I'm consistently having performance problems with my LCR. The problem is, it doesn't perform! I've just had the opportunity to go out and get a MAF log with VAG-COM and I wondered if somebody could check it out for me and let me know what they think? I'm no...

Hi ... I would really appreciate some opinions on what I should do to my LC next.... as I have got the modifying bug at the moment. My car isn't new (2000 W) but is has only done 55,000 and is running well at the moment. So far I have had a remap by STAR (to 215bhp & 220ft/lbs), along with...

I bought a cupra at the weekend and the bloke i bought it off has put a cone induction kit on it, but i can only get about 120 top end, just wondering if the wrong induction kit can effect the top speed this badly?

I've been looking at the Jabbasport remap for my FR 130 tdi. Their standard remap should take it to about 175-180 bhp. Does anyone know what sort of 0-60 or 0-100 times I should expect afterwards? Thanks

My car seems to have an odd, intermittant performance problem and I wondered if anybody could shed some light on it for me? Twice since I've owned the car (a week) it will perform like the turbo has gone to sleep. You can't hear the turbo spooling up, and the car feels like a normal 1.8 car...
