    Cupra rocks at Castle Combe!

    Inch for inch with an Evo MR340 on revo stage 1 in mine, there was absolutley nothing in it, this was fom a rolling start in 2nd till half way through 4th. Having stage 2+ loaded on i was pretty much equal to an Audi RS4 avant (the older twin turbo version) again from a rolling start in 2nd...

    Which intake for Cupra?

    When i enquired on ITG's website Andy Jackson replied and always kept me up to date with the development of the product, sent pictures etc and was excellent throughout. I feel i kinda owe it to them to go with their intake + i think it looks really meaty and purposefull!!

    ITG CAI Review (For Leon Cupra Mk2) **NOW WITH VIDEO FOOTAGE**

    Warren, have you played about with your settings since having the intake on? i would imagine the car will run much better on the aggressive settings i.e B9 T6 F6? At first i was hoping to get a 'quiet' CAI but now i'm not too fussed, im rather looking forward to the extra noise. When you have...

    Aren't the 3" systems as lairy as hell? I know when i got my tbe milltek done at JBS they were complaining about having to weld extra silencers into their Eurojet due to it being silly loud.

    Managing the effects of excessive heat in turbo charged engines

    A proper fed CAI guarded from heat will produce more low down torque as cold air is instantly available where as the OEM will get heatsoak. However the turbo will ceate lots of heat after being on boost so the benefits of under bonnet heat protection will then be diminished - unless its an open...

    Cupra oil/coolant top-up?

    My local seat told me to use Mobil 1 5w/30. I think the lower weight oils are used for turbocharged engines. 10 weight like you say is for bedding the engine in. I topped mine up with the Mobil 1 5w/30 not being sure whether Quantum was in the car or not.

    k1 milltek turbo back worth it?

    This is exactly what happened to me. I was lead to believe i 'needed' the full tbe to run stage 2+. So thats what i did, put my deposit down then unfortunalty 2 days later discoverd it could be done without. Upon trying to explain this to JBS i was going to lose my deposit so ended up with the...

    k1 milltek turbo back worth it?

    Ye my understanding was that the main restriction was in the downpipe and CAT. Maybe thats why Milltek make that part of the system 3" then the rest 2.75" :shrug:

    k1 milltek turbo back worth it?

    Ye i think thats the idea - reduces front end lift. I'm gonna get one fitted at some point..defo.

    k1 milltek turbo back worth it?

    Oh ye it was a rolling start from bottom end of 2nd gear through 3rd then into 4th for a bit before shutting off. Ye from a standing start there would probably be much less powerful FWD cars that could keep up off the mark due to traction issues with FWD and circa 300bhp. Anti lift and sticky...

    fuel ....

    I reckon its worth using, turbocharged cars need the higher octane fuel to reduce the chances of detonation in the cylinder due to the increased combustion pressures/temperatures. This is especially apparent if you map the car and run higher boost. In the manual it recommends running the car...

    k1 milltek turbo back worth it?

    On stage 1 with the boost up at 8 an Evo MR340 was the equivalent and believe me there was NOTHING in it. All my graphs done on Dyno Dynamics too which are supposed to be conservative anyway...

    k1 milltek turbo back worth it?

    Ye Milltek tbe non res is great. Costs a bit but don't think you'll look back. Judging by the performance of the Revo stage1 mapped Cupra i'd say 275bhp is a bit conservative. I'm only going off the similar levels of performance it has to some capable cars on the road...
