Shouldn’t necessarily reduce economy. Unless your driving style has become more aggressive. I get high 20s to mid 30s normally on my stage 1 Leon Cupra 280, and that’s with normal, non-vigorous driving. High 30s on a run. I don’t have a DSG map. If the DSG map keeps the box in lower gears at higher revs all the time, then I can see why economy may be reduced.

Is the MPG readout from the dash, or calculated from fill ups? My understanding was that plug in tuning box’s wouldn’t give an accurate reading due to the way they intercept sensors to increase power

Hi it’s the same in all modes eco it changes up as it did prior it only keeps in lower gears in cupra mode

Afternoon people, just had my Leon Cupra st 300 4 drive stage 1 engine (350bhp) and stage 1 gearbox.........let me tell you something you need both in your life.

It's amazing gear change so much quicker and no flat spot after gear change or through the rev range and pulls like a train, how it should be from the factory.

Oh also had the sound actuator turned down to zero so much better listening to an engine rather than a manafactured noise.

Where did you have it done, and how much did it cost, if you don’t mind? I turned my soundaktor off too. Much better, and can hear my APR intake now too.

So a guy in oxford does them SM Tuning his names Sean, for mine it was £500 other models might differ tho.

I just put a panel filter on from ramair and turbo elbow and inlet pipe. Which I'm happy with don't want alot of noise as the misses drives it
