Internals are fine for 260 ish bhp.
You would need a bigger FMIC and associated piping, a stronger clutch, hybrid turbo, filter (a panel filter would suffice), a good remap and a exhaust system of some description. That lot would get you 230-240bhp.
If your after more, your looking at larger turbos again, and possibly meth/propane/nos systems (or all of them).
It is not cheap to tune past 230bhp.
Just something I see on the net to do with the pd 150 engine. Nos sounds interesting

Haha... Was nothing to do with me, I swear, lol. Car is lovely.. But none of the cars such as the (vauxhall) and this pd150 have the power of the 1st Cupra i had! Beginning to think I did really get a top tuned car with all the extra added parts! Now if I knew I'd be back with a leon I'd have just kept the 1.8t but then this one I have is immaculate! Everything works from the little door lights on the doors to no knocking sounds and the speakers sound very good! Just wouldn't mind Bluetooth for some music and phone calls but I think the stereo is a classic! Anyways back on subject.. So I can get a remap for £100.. Only down side is for this deal I've to drive an hour n 30mins just didn't want the clutch to drop out on me on my way home lol.. You may think its not official map but it is.. Dyno is extra £50 I think! Offer ends end of April so wouldn't mind this.. Also changing the alloys at some point but the standard look is alright! Just not to keen of going too fast with it standard ride hight.. Feels a bit top heavy on the Bends.

Hi there.
My Leon 1.9tdi has the AHF 110 and with a custom remap is now with 150hp. No clutch needed as long as I don't strecth it like a dragster. Plenty of power for typical commute between work and home. Economic is still the key feature and more power means more fuel.
If your looking for 200+ horses then a petrol Cupra would have been you right choice but daily 3hours rides would empty your tank like a camel as you certainly know.
I do went for the bluetooth music and hands free and it's a must as long as you choose the right red&white lighting radio it does suit very well.

Yeah maybe your right.. Mines 150 standard just couldn't help thinking about the extra bhp of a remap. But tbf my 1.8astra sri sports was getting 27mpg and no turbo in that so I guess I'd be used to spending that kinda money on petrol. Any suggestions for a stereo?Hi there.

I have stage 1 custom map, running standard clutch (slipping very slightly), green panel filter and some altered boost pipework. 193bhp / 292lbsft.
And how much of a difference in performance do you feel you have got - does it feel a lot quicker? What about economy - I hear its supposed to be better on fuel with a remap, and egr also mapped out
Car was stage 2 wasn't it but basically ran into the ground. A loss of 110hp is going to be very noticed but you will get good mpg. If your wanting fast...go back to 1.8t. TDI are ok but not fast without silly money put into them.

I'm with TWH above. Do it !!
Mine is completely stock with a stage 1 map and green panel filter, IRO 200 horses and if I'm steady on the pedal I get around 50 mpg on my commute from East Kent to Essex. my clutch will slightly slip if I really push it, but normal everyday traffic it's completely fine. Also it has a lovely Turbo whistle due to the Panel filter
Motorway driving is effortless, the slightest touch on the pedal and it pulls for miles. My car share buddy has just forked out for a 17 plate Merc diesel.......absolutely gutless, no comparison whatsoever to my LC

Yeah I think it's gotta be done! 200bhp.. Took it for a ride today for about 25miles on the motorway.. Had some BMW behind me and I tried to go faster but the BMW was just keeping up and then some, so had to move to other lane! If I'd of had that extra 100 horse I'd have a annihilated that BMW

You certainly won't get an extra 100bhp from just a remap on its own.
A 40-50 bhp increase is much more realistic without blowing the turbo to bits.

Yeah I know that.. But to be getting about 250bhp out of my car would I have to do alot more just for the extra bhp as in adding mods? What would be the easiest or best even cheapest way to a get at least 250? K&N Air filter? Exhaust? More and likely a new clutch? Even 230bhp might be asking to much?
What would a bigger turbo do? Would it make any difference at all? If I just had the stage one map and a bigger turbo?

And how do you know what he was running? He could have 300 to play with. Some days you win others you just need to chill for another day.
A petrol will be better in the higher rev ranges but the diesel will have the grunt low down. On the A roads and motorways I just don't risk going past the ton, need my licence too much. But the fun I can have getting to the next set of lights around town!
A good remap will get you to 200 safely but will test the standard clutch and if that clutch has already seen many miles the more that test will be.
A decent fmic will give you a few extra horses but as andrewwright says, getting big numbers will really empty your wallet.
Don't go lower on that car unless you are happy to whack your sump. Get a rear arb fitted and then see how those bends are!
