Yes Sie has 1 (Yermother)

£1000 i believe and that includes the cat so its stupidly expensive but from all accounts its a very good bit of kit:)

For £1000 it would have to be lol :D

I have the cat from milltek, i have the chance to take one (only downpipe) from an former owner of a audi s3; My fear was that the turbo will not have enough back pressure since it is "3

I'm fairly sure it won't fit with your standard CAT, or any other CAT other than the APR one, without having some kind of link pipe made up (if that's possible).

Dunno if you could buy the APR separately - awesome would know.

a ko3 has enough back pressure with a 3" downpipe so a ko4 should be fine

The APR downpipe is a quality bit of kit - expensive yes, but very well made. I had one fitted to my car before I went the IHI route.
It is a bit of a `fiddle`to install on the car - not a 10 minute job!! - but will fit the LCR and once in place it works fine.
You will also need a small `spool piece`to connect to the discharge side of the cat and house the second lambda probe
You will have to fabricate this yourself - Milltek make one specially for the APR pipe, to mate up to their own exhaust system for the LCR - The APR/Milltek combo fits up very nicely and sounds great.
I`m pretty sure the standard cat will not fit with the APR pipe - the pipe comes with its own special, if rather small, cat, and works OK with the standard Ko4 turbo
With uprated software - say APR st 2 - the car will be as good as it can be, bearing in mind the limitations of standard turbo/exhaust manifold:)

thank you all for your advices, I really appreciate this help, I will keep bother you with questions on my way to make my cupra r to fly :)

PS: civic type r smoked last night by me but i was smoked also by a 2006 ford focus st (2.5 L, 5 cylinders, k04 turbo) ; the forge FMIC and milltek exhoust were good money spent - sorry for O Topic
