Just had it confirmed that my new Leon TDI Cupra should be here in about a week :clap: .(Hats off to Perrys of Aylesbury only ordered it wednesday!!!). So what should I do to tune it!!! . Being based in Milton keynes I have superchips 10 mins down the road REvo agent not far away, whats best. Do I need a rolling road to check the tune?
Thanks for any help.

was thinking the same thing myself (now 1K on the clock)
My SEAT dealer does superchips, but theres no rolling road. I'd like to put it on a rolling road but I don't suppose there will be many of them in West Cumbra :thumbd:
Don't know wether Superchips are safe or not?

Superchips are not well spoken of among VAG owners (pretty much a known fact). From what I've seen here in Portugal, there hp comes mostly from added boost and have a small tendency to go BOOM.. :thumbd:
There are well designed softare packages around, superchips not being one of them.
Get a few thousand miles on the car before doing anything to it.
I managed 12 miles before chipping mine!!!

so who did u use and how much difference has it made. I want to make sure I can kill my friends new A3 tdi :D
i used a PSI power box from east coast racing. www.dieselchiptuning.com. i can't really say how much better as i only drove home in rush hour when i picked it up.
But as for an audi A3.........kill it, no...........annihilate, yes. hope to get mine on a rolling road tuesday. Watch this space!

Mine was chipped by the dealer when new :p
You shouldn't have much trouble with an A3, especially if you get chipped or remapped.

Yep, A3 TDI should be no problem.
Even in my ickle Ibiza, I "suprised" an A3 2.0 TDI!! :whistle:

In your case it has to do with the power to weight ratio. Remember that your ibiza is quite lite.
YEAH!! power to weight rules!! (what.. no rock on smilie :( )

Must mean when I get it chipped I better get more power. How much heavier is a leon that a Ibiza? Also I have driven a A3 TDI and they are not slow.

You'll always have a hard time with the ibiza. They are lighter (not sure how much) so they can always be tuned to produce more torque than on a leon which will have clutch slip.
