hey guys, i recently bhought a 180bhp leon and want to sort out all the easyest mods before i get it remapped, to get the most power out of it. thinking something like 230bhp.

What mods to shop?

4bar fpr
3" maf house?
exhaust
fmic

i got a set of 225 BAM injectors, do these fit and can it be run along with a k03s?

you dont need to change the MAF housing, FPR (dependant on mapper) or the injectors for just a stg2 k03s

injectors and MAF typically only needed to be changed when going k03 hybrid or bigger

Exhaust and FMIC is a must though

I read that the leon 180 can go to a max of 300BHP before replacing internals and rebuilding the bottom end, mine is bout 200BHP at the moment, just waitin for my FMIC, hoses and get a remap.... hopefully i will get around 240BHP along with my other mods.

My 2002 Cupra 180 runs 222/254 with shielded cone filter, custom 3"decat/2.5" catback, stock side mount IC and custom Stage 2 remap. Still think theres a little room for improvement. Once the FMIC is fitted after new year ill get her back on the dyno and tweaked
