1.8T goes forever, shouldn't see any problems from a remap.

There's plenty about, custom maps done on rolling roads, generic maps etc.

Best to go somewhere reputable.

Yes get it done, it transforms the Leon from a quick car to a very quick car, well worth it - 260bhp approx

For the money its the most bang for buck you will ever get. Loads of companies to choose from, persoanlly I would recommend Custom Code but there are loads to choose from AMD, APR etc etc...

I had a custom code remap on mine... was very nice..

Before you do it though, make sure your engine is in tip top condition..

Consider replacing the coilpacks if they have not been done... do a decent service and consider replacing the internal dump valve with a stronger one... the seatcupra.net forum has recomendations for another VAG part which does the job...

Silicon Turbo Intake Pipe is also another good upgrade as the standard one collapses on remapped cars.

Give MRC a ring: http://www.mrctuning.com/

They are very knowledgeable and know their stuff when it comes to re-mapping cars.

Coilpacks will probably go, so will the MAF, but apart from the all good.

Get a Forge 007 or APR R1 Diverter valve and a silicon intake hose and you are good to go

Go to a Tuner that will do a diagnostic before the remap and give it a run on the rollers before & after and you won't have any problems smile
