Hi, new to vag and loving it. Been a jap man for a while but got a bit bored of it. Just bought myself a 53plate seat leon cupra 1.8t with 64,500 miles on it, full service history and it's had a revo stage one remap. That's it as far as modding that's been done on it but I'm enjoying it. Got a few questions but I'm sure the search bar will help me. Wanna buy a forge008 DV straight away and also an induction kit. Which one though? So many to choose.

Hi mate,
Just put in an order for the forge 008 dv and a pipercross velocity intake system, I think it looks awesome and later on can change the filter to a cotton cone filter or something.

Awesome, sounds good. I've heard forge dump valves are very good. Did want a whooshy one but don't want the hassle that I've heard always goes on with them. Yea always liked the pipercross filters. Can't wait for it all to come so I can fit it all.
15 posts till I can post pics... Wow.

Not to sure, last few cars I've had have been lowered on collies but I'm really liking the drive of it, enjoying the smoothness of it. But just gotta wait and see, really like the sleeper look on these. Want to aim for stage 2 tuning with a new turbo, just gonna go for ko3s with ko4 internals, think that's possible. Any idea on exhaust? Looking for either a 3" or2.5" down pipe decat with a nice quiet deep exhaust.

So waited 9 whole days for demontweeks to sort my order out only to have to call them after 9 days to see why my parcel hadn't been dispatched. Asked them why and they said only just received an email,from pipercross saying the viper intake system is discontinued, so after a bit of a rant at the bloke I went for a green air filter, 008 forge dv, and a stack boost gauge. Got it all fitted yesterday and love the sound of it, was kinda expecting a bit more of a induction roar but no to fussed, like the dv noise more! Stack boost gauge is awesome, ain't fitted it yet just waiting for the pod to come, hopefully this week. Next mods are a tip and a decat down pipe.

Just a quick question? What's the breather pipe for that went into the old intake box for and should I buy a little breather filter for that?

That breather pipe does suck a lot of air though, I put a bit of jay cloth over it with a cable tie as a filter to stop it sucking down anything bad till I get something better.

Turbo sucks a lot man, sounds very good!

Yea probs best man, wonder what it goes to and if it does affect it at all. I think it's a 25mm filter you'll need.

Used to love my jap cars, still do specially Hondas but after driving one of these thought it was time for a change! Quality cars. So much potential with them where as with Hondas your fighting for every last little bhp you can squeeze out of them. Dorking's 10 mins away, cool man.
