Hey Guest👍👎 We're looking for reviews of your local CUPRA or SEAT Dealership - it's quick and easy to do: Leave a review now
Revo's are pretty epic TBH. There are other bits and bobs in the pipeline but i'm sure 220BHP will keep you busy.
If your upping the power I always make sure you have the chassis and brakes to match, hence why I went for the Set Sport Brakes and Eibach coilovers before the map.

So many options it all boils down how much money you can "invest" 
Start with an air intake, proceed to an exhaust,add a downpipe and a racing catalyst, followed by an ECU remap with a sweet intercooler and some platinum spark plugs, these should be sufficient for your cupradin!!!

Got mine fitted as standard. There are other options do a search. Warrenty is a patchy area. There are no finished induction kits out as yet. You'll have to hold fire a few months. Forge and ITG have them in development. Blueflame and miltek are working on exhausts.
Personally i ignored it, i cannot advise you to do the same, if you decide to tune your car be prepared to take your own resposibilities.
For brakes there are many options, from known brands like brembo or galfer or seat sport, to other car models car like S3(old model). part of the joy derives from the endless hours you spend on the net searching for parts You basicaly are looking to upgrade your front from 288mm disks to 312mm disk and always bare in mind if the brake will fit your wheels. A good and cheap start would be to change your brake pads with Ferodo DS 2500, i believe you will see a significant difference.

regarding exhausts there are custom made also, whats the point to pay 600+ euros for a miltek exhaust.
Personally i dont bite on these marketing tricks regarding kits for Ibiza cupra, nobody is reinventing the wheel!!! I already have an aftermarket induction and exhaust and my car is working fine and i am very happy with the performance they produce.
While the direct air intake and exhaust are in production it might be worth sorting out the suspension and brakes first. Would be best to get the best handling for the car before adding more power. If money is not too tight I'd say :
Weitec Coilies
Rear ARB
Strut Brace (Not sure if one is ready yet)
Big brake conversion
This would give the perfect base for power mods and would give you time to get it all done before they are released. Warranty will be lost on all parts changed and some that will be affected by the part you change. Obviously a car isn't supposed to go wrong in the first three years but it will be a risk you will have to take. Some won't mod because of warranty but other will, it's down to personal preference.

well i can get them from work as part of the company i work for imports them, but if you wanted a set i could sort you out a price
Mk4 front brace won't fit, just open your bonnet and the reason why should be pretty obvious.
As for custom exhaust as mentioned, it's ok providing the company making it know their stuff, but how can they develop it? Blueflame for example have been testing one for a while and made some revisions, not reinventing the wheel but its not always as straight forward as slinging on a big pipe.

would be great if you could buddy, and yea people like powerflow are a no no for me and always will be after my last exhaust.
Defo the company making the exhaust must know their stuff and also own the modern equipment for a flawless job.
i don't have anything against blueflame or Miltek, but if people that work hard for their money can save 600 euros on an exhaust for a result as good as something branded i am sure they can add something more to their car to derive more pleasure. That's why we all tune our cars don't we?
Here is my exhaust http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0AgYAEhNu0
