Hey all
What a delight it was to find this forum; I have just managed to bag myself bargain 2003 Cupra 1.8T (in bright yellow ). Was surfing about looking for some advise on modifications and found this site, quick browse of the forum & the following happened:
Stage 1 custom remap (now about 218bhp)
Forge 007? dumpvalve
New TIP as the old one had a hole in it (standard part)
Panel filter
Fabia rear wiper on order
Citron C2 aerial on order
HID conversion on order.
Forge DogBone things also on order
After this I kind of have 3 questions im not sure on.
1) Just saw many posts on the Forge or THS TIP's, can anyone advise the kind of gains replacing the standard one will give? Is it more bhp/torque or just better performance from the part.
2) The garage that did the stage 1 for me said they could fit something like a turbo bypass valve or something??! Said it would fit the stage1 better and allow about an extra 10bhp. Does anyone know what it is and if its a good thing to do? Only cost £80 for part and fitting so seems a good deal for the increase.
3) I would welcome advise on the next MOD Im more into performance gains than cosmetic & like to keep spending down to a few hundred.
Many thanks to all for the sterling advise I have taken from previous posts and any your able to offer me now
