1.8 20v non turbo tuning

[AmanParhar]

Hi everyone, firstly i'll say Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to everyone reading this post!

I've got a 1.8 20v leon; (insurance on cupra is a bit high for me) and was wondering what the best tuning options are for me. I'd like to make the car faster but obviously there are limitation as to how much you can squeeze out of a 1.8 N/A engine! Standard the car is 123 bhp, I'd like to hit 150/160ish what's the best way to do this?

Thanks,

Aman Singh

full exhaust, 4 branch etc, filter and maybe a chip, thats about it really,

without being picky in the slightest i was thinking a very similar thing 6 months ago. buy a cupra! once youve tinkered with your own car, worked out how much you spent doing it and then worked out how much your insurance premium would be increasing due to the mods... you would probably have been better off just buying a cupra!! and my god its so worth it!

Supercharge it?

and once you've told you're insurance company about your new mod's it'll probably be the same cost as insurance for a cupra anyway.

Thanks,

I'll be getting points on my liscence soon (don't ask) thats why I didn't think of the Cupra option as I'd probably pay 3k+ to insure it.

Will a Miltek Exhaust be any good on my car?

stick N.O.S. on it and you will beat a cupra and a cupra R

as a newbie to the car world, is this possible? and i mean realistically possible? supercharging a 1.8 20V non turbo leon (123bhp)? i didnt really understand that link one bit.
