Leon cupra mode
- Thread starter Oldboy racer

Is Blue the standard colour? My options are either White or Red but Blue would be really nice.

I can choose from a bunch of colours - maybe 8/9 other than white. The selection is in the vehicle settings.
I thought the choice would be overwritten when enabling Cupra mode though.
Suspension definitely stiffens. I tried switching modes when doing 20mph on cobbles and the difference was instant and very noticeable. Also notice less body roll when giving it beans in cupra mode.
Have also read about the boost being 2bar in cupra and 1.8 in all others. Will probably agree with this as while it is fast in comfort mode it is a beast in cupra mode. My 280 lives in comfort most of the time but I am always happy to engage nutter mode when needed.

Amen to that, surprising just how comfortable it can be yet at the press of a button how manic. I would probably be tempted to use said nutter mode more often if the sound actuator was turned off. Ordering OBD11 tonight

Where are you ordering your ODB11 from? I think I'm going to have to grab one myself.
I was just going to get it direct from the website unless there is somewhere else people recommend? Need to turn the auto start/stop off too, cuts in far too early (junctions and speed humps etc) and I forget sometimes to push the button when I get in.
Back on topic slightly, had a quick test this morning and definitely felt more boost in Cupra mode. In 3rd gear from 20-40ish in normal it gripped but in cupra it spun the wheels. Same stretch of road in the rain.

Mine is set to Orange to match the car and stays orange no matter what mode I am in. I think the change to red is only 290 and earlier cars
Don't want to change the light colour from Red but is there a way i can rename Cupra mode to nutter mode
My Cupra ST from 2018 runs at least 2.31 bar boost (haven't looked/seen it higher).
Can also confirm that the real engine/exhaust noise increases significantly when in Cupra Mode and I'm running a de-cat Milltek Sport exhaust.
I love the bangs it makes when the revs go down from high up after downshifting.
(it does NOT do this in Comfort-mode)
A recent dyno, my Cupra:
Run 1: Comfort - 374hp
Run 2: Comfort- 371hp
Run 3 : Cupra - 361hp
Runs were close together so expect heat to be the main -2.7% difference on the third run.
Of course my car is mapped, but really Cupra mode just increases the noise, stiffens the steering and suspension and sharpens the diff.

I may be wrong but my impression is that it also changes the throttle map (i.e. gives a greater throttle opening earlier in the pedal travel). However, you would need part-throttle runs on a dyno to prove that.
