At the moment she's only rtech stage 2. With everything to go 2+. I've got engine mount inserts and poly bush kit with ALK. Been looking at wavetrac diff, please let me know how it feels. What sort of power are you.
So now I've had, cam chain and tensioner done. Cambelt and water pump replaced. Inlet valves walnut blasted and injectors cleaned. New oil pick up. Full service. Helix clutch kit and braided clutch line. All done over the last 3 months. Getting ready for tte480

380hp is 2+ territory. I believe the cupra R all use the CDL lump as found in the mk6 R an S3 variants.

Still bedding the helix clutch in. AKS recommend doing 5-600 miles of gear changes. I'm finding it difficult to do without giving it boost.
Today I'll be looking at swapping over to AKS gear link bushes.
Also booked her in to have the cam chain tensioner done.
Yesterday picked up my R after having the Helix clutch kit and Braided line from AKS. booked in to have my cambelt and cam chain tensioner done while on holiday in 3 weeks time.
I want to treat myself to a short shift kit which one do I go for ? What kit do people recommend?
