questions

I have a remapped ASV engine (Leon SE 110), and im hungry for more power. What options can i go for? Ive heard the term "hybrid turbo" flung around, and I'm still quite confused as to what it actually is. From what i gather, its a modified turbo so you can put a bigger turbo on another car? eg...

Hi all, I used to own an Ibiza Cupra, so been a member on here for a long time. Great car and I loved it, but about 18 months ago I was too skint to run it and changed over to a Clio dci :(! It's done what I wanted, 55mpg, £35tax, 18k mile services etc. so dirt cheap to run, but it is...

i went into the engine block then basic settings and ran group 11, but the car's rpm didnt go upto 1400rpm, as some people have said, it just stayed at idle with the display showing duty cycle and the on of cycle. does this mean it worked? also how long should i run it for?

i have searched but to no avail, i had my cambelt and pump and tensioners changed at 60,000 and read sumwhere about using vag com to set the timing back up, now i know this wasnt done, it seems to run fine , perhaps slightly lumpier first thing, and seems to smoke abit lately approx...

Hey guys i currently have a 110 tdi remapped. I'm planning to run a 150pd turbo in the near future. What i want to know is, if i put the turbo on, (using red turbo outlet pipe and different pancake pipe) will it run spot on until i get it mapped and uprated injectors fitted? also i'm guessing...

Hi Guys Sorry for yet another remapping post but hoping to get some answers to a couple of specific questions. Having had a ride in a mate bluefin'd Focus ST i'm looking at remapping my mk2 07 cupra and from looking through the forums Bluefin or Revo seem to be the way to go. My...

1. Put a K&N air filter on the car last week and ever since it has been running sluggish. Any reasons for this and whats the benifit of having a K&N apart from it sounds a lil bit more beefy. 2. Thinking of taking the spare out but what do i fill the massive gap thats left with. obv want...

Firstly, would just like to say I've been checking these forums on and off for the past few months and I must say, some decent helpful stuff on here. Secondly, my diy and electronic skills are somewhat limited so please bear with me if I sound a little confused. I'm sure we will get there in...

Anyone knows the dimensions of the muffler of the milltek catback? and where i can find the Oval Tip of the stock exhaust? tanks..!:help:

Evening all - it's been a long while since I've posted but my 06 Leon 2.0TDI is going in tomorrow for a comprehensive (and well overdue) service. Currently sitting at 66k miles, the last service was at 53K. No longer under warranty so can use specialist not dealer - taking it to Heriothill...

Hi, first post and I'm looking for a fast leon. I know the Cupra is top dog but I have a few considerations which are; car needs to be 'reasonably' economical when driving sensibly - I travel for work, but only about 12 -15k miles per year - would want to be able to achieve early 30's, most of...

Hi all, I got a 53 plate Cupra at the weekend and have a couple of quick questions; - the previous owner claimed to have changed the exhaust back to standard but I've looked underneath and the middle pipe is a different bore, I suspect a bodge. I'm going to get the middle replaced with...

Getting annoying with all my questions but im sure it will benefit many more Cupra owners! (I actually searched for something earlier, and found a post by MYSELF in 2005 telling me the answer - how odd is that? :lol: ) Anyway, i've searched and there isn't any concrete answers to the...

Hey guys Well I finally upgraded my mk1 1.6 Leon - it was getting on a bit - Y reg! To a nice new(ish) FR with only 4K miles. Bought it without seeing it and ended up with the 18" wheels and Bluetooth Kit without the dealer even knowing about it! Absolutely loving it and it has a hell of a...

Hey, So continuing on with my desire to do a few bits to my car, I bought a cold air scoop. I believe it's the same one from the group buy. I already have a green panel filter in there. I have the 1.8 Non Turbo, so my engine bay looks similar to the picture below (stolen from Greg R84)...
