ND-Photo.nl 's - Seat Leon ST Cupra 280

I love that you can only see a slight hint of the front upper strut brace

Do you feel any difference with it fitted? Would be almost invisible on my red wagon

@Cubbington Yes, most definitely! Steering has sharpened up a bit, which feels like the car is not tilting as much. Good bang-for-buck modification. You can also buy it in black or silver.

Found a bigger filter with a velocity stack, which should work better than the provided filter

First fit, already looks way more impressive

Problem, the hood would not close haha

Unfortunately, I had to remove the heat shield for the bigger filter to fit. I don't worry too much about a missing heatshield and the possibility of higher IATs

Problem solved

The intake noise is pretty insane for me, but I love it. Also the aluminium plate on top of the filter amplifies the sounds which are coming out of the turbo

Some more shots, I love the big velocity stack.

How it looks

Pretty close to the headlight unit

The intake pipe is bigger than it looks on these pictures!

Legends say u don't need cold air for a turbocharged engine because of the intercooler that cools the air but idk. I would want better sound over lil bit of power too if I had petrol engine
That engine bay pretty clean! :>

@Drax it is! But that will probably change over the next months with warmer weather and it becomes more dusty over here. Right next to my driveway is a small patch of land where a horse normally resides. In the summer I can wash my car every day if I want to with all the dust.

Picture for clarification. The Fiat 100HP is from a buddy of mine, proper machine made for fast cornering. Also I like his exhaust note

Some preventative maintenance, replaced the camshaft position sensor. Straight swap, done in a matter of minutes

Bought one from Hella

Old one out, the silverish stuff is LiquiMoly MoS2. On pictures it looks silver, but in reality is a dark grey matter

All in place

I like to try things, so when I can find a bigger filter, I will buy it and test it. Bonus points when the filter has a funky color

Mid: Velocity stack filter with aluminium top hat
Right: Big purple filter with open top
