Excuse the title. The long long term goal is to work towards 400bhp with a IS38 turbo but short term I am getting it ready for a stage 2 remap which will suit the next stage. The car is a 2016 1.8 TSI Ibiza Cupra.

So far I have only had the car a month and enjoying every minute. The last full tank I did I got 50mpg average over the tank and still had some fun (most the miles were on the cruise control at one speed). Impressed that I can get a decent fuel economy and still have something fun for long drives.

Where I am at the moment is I have put on an induction kit, turbo muffler delete and a larger intercooler. I plan is to do a full exhaust and then get a stage 2 remap before ruining it in other ways. This weekend I fitted a universe intercooler (550mm x 230mm x 65mm). Cut quite a lot out to fit it, mostly to fit the boost pipes as the intercooler itself fitted perfect. Some pictures below.
