Hi Boys and girls just like to share my experience how to transform the already great hot hatch to hyper hatch
simple stage 1 re-map and stage 1 dsg remap the best money you can spend on the cupra also with a few other mods engine mount/front tyres changed to ps4s its now more awesome than it was before also test drove a standard golf R last week even before mine was done did not lite my fire in fact i thought it was very boring a very over hyped hatch that`s my personal opinion now
cheers GHB

Totally agree, For me the difference between Cupra and Golf is the Cupra is a Drivers car and has character. The Golf is a great machine that does well on dry and wet but lost the fun along the way.

My fav youtube video is the original 280 vs Golf R auto car one when the presenter had decided the Golf was better..... till he drove the Cupra.

But lots of people do like the Golf and that good as the waiting time for Cupra is long enough as it is.

Stage 1 map is great fun, never did the DSG bit on Stage 1 but I have it now and its great.

And mine is staying with me till it goes to the great scrap yard in the sky.

Hey,

All of the MK3 Cupra's are properly fast! What did the stage 1 get you up to? I assume around the 360bhp mark...

If you get a chance you should read this readers ride (you may of already seen it) - https://forums.seatcupra.net/index.php?threads/mk-3-280-stage-3.445295/

You thinking about going to Stage 2 or 3 on yours or is your fast enough for the time being?

I tried a Golf R a while back and I thought it was boring and not very nice inside with the interior pretty much the same as the GTD. Didn't feel like their fastest Hot Hatch...

Edit - That link is for the @theoldboy who just posted haha I assume his ears were burning lol

Enjoy your car it's a beaut!

HI there about 360/370 temp were very high that day torque 386ft pounds a bit more than the RS3. standard that is its proper rapid taking my time last week seen 50mpg thats driving like miss daisy at 50 to 55mph just incredible thinking whats on tap and as all ways its dependent on fuel only use shell v power or tesco momentum
