Hi. I just bought a Cupra 280 PP and would like to build a road/track project. The car is currently making about 360bhp running VWR 600 intake, 3' custom downpipe & catback and ECU mapping.

I want opinions to build a decent project (aiming 400bhp).

This is what I'm looking at this moment:
- Front Brake Pads for track - ?
- Rear Brake Pads for track - ?
- Front and Rear Braided Brake Hoses - VWR/Goodridge?
- Set of light and wide wheels - Can I fit 18x9.5 or 19x9.5 wheels ET 45 (Brembos and wheel arch clearance ?
- Set of semi slicks/extreme summer tires - 265or275/35r18 | 265or275/30r19?
- Lowering Springs - VWR/Eibach?
- Intercooler - Wagner/VWR?
- Front and Rear Anti Roll Bar - Whiteline/Eibach?
- ADJUSTABLE DROP LINKS - VWR?
- Solid adjustable top mounts - VWR?
- Paddle Shift Gear Extension - S2T?
- Lower Engine Mount Performance Upgrade - VWR?

- Polibush kit - Powerflex? Is it worth it?
- Oil Catch Tank & Management Kit - VWR? Worth it?
- Remote Washer Fill Relocate Bottle Racing - VWR? Worth it?
- Induction Cleaning Kit Volkswagen Racing - VWR? Worth it?
- HIGH-FLOW TURBO INLET PIPE - VWR? Worth it?
- HIGH-FLOW TURBO 90 - VWR? Worth it?
- TURBO MUFFLER DELETE - VWR? Is it worth it?
- FULL PERFORMANCE SILICONE HOSE KIT - VWR? Is it worth it?

Thanks!

Welcome to SCN.

I only have stage 1 Revo but i know both Revo and APR do over 400 on Stage 2, if you have a dsg then are you going to map that as well, if Manual then is your clutch up to the power.

You have got the best intake, the only other item I have knowledge off is the intercooler, my local revo garage said Forge or Wagner were good but the Forge one needed modifying to fit the Leon.

Lastly most of the garages I have spoken with say I should have a big break kit with the extra power, also i have seen a few peolpe here who also say you should change your spark plugs for cooler running ones.

Are you going to strip the back of the car out to save weight or leave as is.

My car has DSG. I forgot to mention the cooler spark plugs. Daily I will leave the back seats standard and will remove them on track days. I believe that brembo BBK with decent brake pads will handle 400bhp without issues. Thanks for your input.
