Sounds a good setup, I have Eibach pro kit on mine, gives a practical ride height, good for bumpy b roads lol

The TIP and induction kit is worth it for the extra turbo noises alone, plus well documented performance gains. I bought a pro alloy intercooler kit, nearly double the price of the Airtec kit, but a better quality intercooler,I've got forged internals too as I plan on fitting a big turbo eventually

A proper heatshield with open cone filter is worth while, won't suck in hot air, bill/badger 5 sells a TIP and induction kit package that I have on mine.

Lag depends on the intercooler , a poor quality intercooler isn't worth fitting imo, heat soaks quickly and won't recover as quick, I'm sure the pressure drop would be greater too, although that depends on size and design. I fitted a FMIC to my LCR, didn't notice any extra lag

Forget about the forge charge pipe , I've just fitted a "trackslag" charge pipe, bigger and smoother bends than the forge and does away with the red elbow pipe on turbo. I'd recommend a good quality intercooler I've got a Pro Alloy intercooler, can't recommend it enough, made a massive...

The civic will have more power and torque throughout most of the Rev range, especially at the top end

The civic has much more torque , seems unbelievable that the leon is as quick or quicker in a straight line

I will take a look at their website, at the moment my charge pipe is original and baffled so hopefully worth while , thanks for the info

Ca looks great! Was the charge pipe off eBay? Much difference in sound or anything?

Yeah that's what I thought, thanks

Hi all, Just wondering if the original springs are different from the cupra diesel/ diesel leon to the cupra r? I assume they are, but looking on a website for lowering springs they give the same kit for all the models including the R. I assume if I fitted the suspension from a MK1 tdi...

I've seen a few LCR lately, seem to be getting more and more around where I live, near Ebbw Vale

Hi, welcome Where abouts in Wales you from?

Decided to just buy a new oem turbo, as I haven't got supporting mods, and I'm not ready to get it mapped yet. Had the car back yesterday, wearing it in now Been told a few hundred mile of steady driving with lots of run down/coasting to bed in the new rings. Car is running spot on, but...

There's always one lol

Well 1st unexpected problem, I need a new turbo, bit disappointed as I was hoping to get a gt2871r or similar, I've decided to send it off and hybrid it. Will I be ok using it for a while without a remap to suit, as it's currently stage 1 and haven't budgeted for a new turbo never mind a...

Thanks, yeah I like the wheels, they're light too, only 1.5 kg heavier than the TD pro race 1.2

Few pictures of my LCR, I've had it a little while now, have done a few things, including 4 New Michelin pilot super sports, iridium plugs, oil temp gauge and is now booked in for a complete 3" exhaust system and a full engine rebuild with IE rods next week.

Platinum are ok, any mods to the car?

Yeah I'm waiting for your results , as id like that setup
