hey,as james says if its the 180 its a cupra.i ve had one now for nearly two years,touch wood(wait for the jokes:doh:)and never had a problem yet.got one with good spec and its lovely to drive even still being on standard suspension.only starting modding mine but i think they are good for up to the 225 of the cupra r and am sure i ve seen a couple on here that are about 250hp???

180 can be tuned up to 240bhp with required mods.
If turbo changed it will take 320ish before needing stronger engine internals.

So yes, very tunable
