Awesome!

Ace cars, I loved mine, though my Cupra R was not built to the same spec as this. Mine only had the usual "Stage 2" style map and cold air feed induction kit, and it was excellent at getting it's power down for a FWD turbo car, despite having a very old school map. The torque curve was like the Matterhorn! How does this one drive with FWD? I can imagine an LSD helping in the corners, but with 400bhp in the front wheels, does it not just light the tyres up when full boost comes in on anything other than a perfectly smooth road?

Very cool.

[Olivera]

Watching this thread

[T.K]

Cool!

Might be worth learning how to cut boost hose neatly (using a jubilee clip (or two) as an edge helps)!

[RobCrezz]

Cool project! I bet that's going to be rapid!

[soad]

Not shy on power then
Turbo sticker looks good!

I love tuned Cupra R's, as they can be made to be shockingly fast without much effort yet remain fairly composed despite their mountainous power. But the chav sticker just spoils it for me. Ok, it's not as bad as the 'TDi inside' ones but still...

Especially as most people wont have a clue what a HTA-GT2868R is...

[DannYLaD]

Thanks Guys..

Been Busy tonight fitting my New TD engine mounts to Handle the power

[fullbeem]

I'll be keeping an eye on this in case I can pick up some ideas for my Octavia turbo

[Jw Vw]

Some serious power underneath that bonnet. Love it.

Even More fun

I adored my LCR - cracking car.

[DannYLaD]

i have removed my 550cc injectors and replaced them with 630cc siemens and a RS4 maf housing @ 3bar...

Also ordered a .84 with my HTA turbo so i should make around 420bhp or so...

[willyturbo]

That must catch people out!

[Mr Dave]

Nice car, and great work and it will be fun to drive but the pressing question remains...

Do the back doors still let water in?

Every Leon/Toledo I have been in does it to an extent.

Got a pic of the dyno chart? A friend of mine has an Ibiza running 300+bhp just wondering what your curves are like.
