Was going to install the boost gauge I purchased back in the year 1652. Then the rain came. Then it went again so I did this instead:

It's a red 2009 cupra with 53 thousand on it,dealer is putting it through mot and servicing it for me this week.its just standard at the minute but it won't be for long I just need to research the best way for getting power out of it now as it's a lot different than the mk1 tdi 130 to get power out of so I'm open to all suggestions for every 1.

I think 300 bhp wouldn't keep me happy for too long,I'd like to try and push it out past 400 bhp but it all comes down to money.

To get over 400bhp you'll have to go big turbo and your looking at big money.
360-380bhp is possible on the standard turbo with an induction kit, uprated intercooler, uprated fuel pump, turbo back exhaust.

Stage 2+ is around 360bhp, for which you need a decent intake, downpipe with sports cat and uprated fuel pump.

What money would it be to get all that done?i think if I get in around 380 bhp I would be happy for a wile but I would definately consider goin down the big turbo route in a year or so if possible.does any one know wat power the standard clutch and flywheel can cope with?iv tried the search button but finding it hard to get info.

Some run stage 2 and are fine some slip at the first sign of stage 1. Comes down to the condition of the clutch and how it's been driven. Plus if you like traffic light starts that will kill it very quickly.

I would be really pi***d if I spent money getting it to stage 2+ and then have to get a clutch put in.might be better getting a clutch kit sorted out first.
