Power is up over 80% on standard though, are uprated pads and discs all that is necessary?

Thinking of Songman's IHI'd LCR, believe he's running big Porsche 993 Turbo brakes on the front? Would have that the insurance company were interested to make sure all that power can be stopped.

a flux seemed happy with me running brembos. on the road they seem to hold ok

Hi Rashcupra

I am awestruck:-o with your car, with fuel consumption to boot! I see that you have been down several tuning paths before doing the uber tune. What I would like to know is, were any of the other upgrades worthwhile? Did the Miltek system make a diference and was it worth the effort (I see you are selling now what have you got on now?) Do I attempt any other tunes or go for something like you have (money not being the issue). And lastly, does the JBS hardware come in a kit form, or is it all custom.

hello yeahbaby welcome to the site :wave:

it depends on what you want from the cupra if you want to get the most power without going mad on money then a miltek exhaust and sports cat (I HAVE FOR SALE) and a forge 007 recirculating valve and a green panel filter and a decent remap will see you 220-235bhp!


but if no money is an object dont pi55 around with these get an uprated turbo ect! exspect to pay about £1,500 for option A and about £4,000 minimum for the bigger turbo kit :D


loads of the work on my car is custom made as a cupra i belive has never been done :D until now :cheeky:
