Guys and Girls,

Quite new to the MK2 Leon, just wondering what are the choice mods you lot have done to your cupras!

Need ideas, so pics and links would be great. Im thinking lowering, new alloys, exhaust and remap.

Cheers

are you planning to win the lottery in feb?

Oh I was just listing the common cupra mods.

Once I have the K1 I am planning on getting the TBE done straight away though with a cai and forge dv, as I want a car thats not only looks better and drives better than a VXR, but also sound better. ;)

Good luck with that. As good as the Leon sounds with a few bits added, an Astra VXR with a Remus still sounds the biz as well.

..thit you measure it? Because every stage 1 thats has 300 hp, when you put it on a dyno its more likely 280 hp..thats the experience from Croatia...:funk:

Pretty much the same for me too.

I brought my K1 from the local dealer who informed me that it was 300bhp.

When I went to AMD last week to get the Miltek and stage 2,
they informed me after the 1st run on the rollers without them touching it,
it was running around 265bhp! :confused:

I have yet to speak to my dealer about it [:@]

Sounds like they sold you a car as mapped, but was infact standard, or returned to standard when they flashed the ecu with an update?:shrug:

Hmmm possibly :confused:

Shaun, at AMD, did say he could see the REVO software on there but had started to proceed with the stage2 map before looking any further into it.

I have yet to collect the RR print outfrom the 1st (before) attempt.
I'm going back next week to have the KW V3 fitted.
Will have another rolling road session for the "after" as I didn't get time to have it done last time.
