I've had my '07 Seat Ibiza TDi Sport (100PS) for 6 months now and I'm wanting to gain some more power. I want to know what the tuning options are? I've heard from others that I should be able to achieve something ranging from 120 BHP to 130 BHP from just a remap. But what should I...

Hi all, I want to buy a cupra TDi in the near future. And I just had a few questions What torque does a remapped (stage 1) Cupra kick out? What Clutch handles this with no slippage? How much does said clutch cost, and what is its actual torque limit? Does the Cupra have a FMIC as...
