Guest, 🚨New Stock alert: Premium CUPRA valve caps now available in the store 👉 Order now from the merchandise store
Put one on today with a K&N Panel Filter and what a difference, it now feels faster than my Bora 130. The car is smoother and pulls a lot stronger from 1800rpm and now provides lots of usable power which i missed from the 130 bora.
ok it was not a cheap mod but quality stuff never is, but its given the car a different driving experience, and now my brake discs are clean and shiny ! Its so much more eager from 1800rpm in normal driving and extended the power through 4000rpm where the std car started to tail off.
Tunit box is set 2 clicks up from the preset 5 and produces no smoke under full power.
Chuffed with what amounted to 2hrs work (fussy with the fitment) which saw the box placed beside the battery in the carrier below the air intake pipe.
I can recommend a box on the PD100 Ibiza

I've had a tunit on my 90bhp Leon for 3½years
All good, no issues and 134bhp and 180ft/lb torque (running on setting 9, using V power diesel and millers diesel sport 4, and sucking air through an open cone filter)
Happy days

Same price as a remap. (or even a little more, £350 to £400, )But can transfer from car to car. 3 basic types on SEATs
Tunit-I for non PD engines (with the Bosch VP37 fuel pump)
Tunit-PD for, well, PD engines
Tunit-CR for 2.0TDi with DPF
What car you got?
I have one in the garrage for a pd if anyone want to make an offer...only a few months old was going to have it on the cupra but ended up with a custom map instead.have had cars with them in the past and they are very good.
Thanks i had a quick look but you cannot select 130 bhp only 150 ? Suppose its the same unit.
They look good £474 though

I think my FR needs bigger brakes before i consider more power
Car doesn't really go any faster, just gets there a hell of a lot quicker.
Most people I know don't upgrade their brakes, but of course, its your personal choice

For me £400 is remap and rolling road territory. for tuning boxes , i use rover ron or tuning-diesel [not allowed to put up web addressees yet apparently]
The PD version comes with a complete set of controls to compensate for out of sorts MAF signals and for £160, nothing comes close.
Got one on my Alhambra tdi 130bhp.and one on the galaxy pd and another on our Mondeo 2.2 .
Well worth reading up on "rover ron"

Ive read about rover ron on the Jaguar X Type forum he gets good reviews. Does he supply VAG though

Thats the problem
i nearly stacked into the back of a small beamer on Sat cause we both went for it to overtake a bus but i pulled a lot quicker then had to stab on the anchors bloody quick. Not one of best pieces of driving gio

hi KRUSSEL. yes he does its called the synergy PD [ forgive the spelling] if you do a google search with [rover ron] it should give a link to his website which is something like diesel-tunning. alsa unable to do links on here yet.
Lets be clear a good remap and rolling road set u is better than a tuning box, if one wants to be pedantic,but good tuning boxes are more than OK, and rover rons are alright and bloody good value too.
good luck

Thanks Buddy
What sort of increase are you looking on insurance 20%, 30% 40%
Now that does depend, on who you are insured by, so its not an easy question to answer.
Then there are those out there because a tuning box is easily fitted and removed, keep the fact to themselves that they even have one, I'm old enough now to argue the toss with my insurance company,and indeed move half way through a policy if necessary because i have max no claims protected, so my premiums usually goes up by around £50.
