I would like to know from those who have first hand expesience. What's the noise level in the cabin of the ibiza cupra tdi compared to a Golf iv 90hp tdi? I own the second one and considering the cupra for sometime now but haven't made the jump yet. Lot's of fuss around cabin noise, wind...

Well having tried the following filters on my car i thought id post a thread about the best ones: Tried a: K&N 57i BMC CDA 85 - 150 ITG Open filter JC60 - 80 The K&N was fairly old, but performance felt fairly restricted, and so i opted to fit my BMC CDA. This felt totally different...

Yo. So tail end of last week I got my Leon Cupra remapped with a stage 1 generic custom-code map. Alleged output is 305-310bhp altho I haven't proven this on the RR. People often ask about which is the "best" remap so here are my thoughts. The comparison I'll draw is with the Revo stage 1...

Can someone from the UK tell me how much it costs them in USD or Pounds to install an Upsolute chip in their car plus an air filter, roughly?

Hey ... this is my first post so best start out with a hello there. Hope I can become a regular poster. Anyway, in spring I'm looking at upgrading my car. At the moment I have the 140 tdi Leon. This is great much faster and better handling than my last car. I love the pull it has (that's...

***** Link removed as no longer working.***** How all this was worked out.... Power and torque figures are based on a Stage 1 remap of an otherwise standard car. They were worked out by taking an average of what Revo and Custom Code advertise after a Stage 1 remap for that model. Standard...

Trying to spec my new FR170 and am just wondering about future purchasing of tyres. What's the difference in price is for shodding the standard 17" FR alloys compared with the 18" alloys. Also are the 18" Alloys for the FR the same design as the 17"? Could owners of both sizes please post...

Hi guys, this made me thinking, how come all engine code are differnt? they all run at 180bhp and are 1.8 turbos. can any one shed some light,

I have it for the day tomorrow, so will report back with road test. Had a brief drive of it a couple of weeks back and liked it. But got it for the full day tomorrow, so will be giving it a good full days worth of driving as i'm working all over the place. Anyone else had the pleasure, if so...

Hi all, just out of curiosity if a pug 306 gti6 would be to go up against an Ibiza FR PD130 (on private road of course) what would the outcome be? Whether its standing start or rolling start? Just curious. I know on paper the gti6 is 167bhp, and the FR is 130bhp which is a big difference...

hello I logged block 002 tonight on 4th gear run, the first run was with my original maf which i suspect is dodgy, and the second run is with a maf borrowed from a friend who got it from VW on Monday. Thanks Marc http://www.marcdowie.com/oldmaf.csv...

below is 2 power runs, ran consecutively with ample cooling fans on the go. the higher figure on the dyno sheet was with the n75C which seems to come in and hold onto power earlier than the J valve which ive just removed due to stage 2 not liking it. I still think im losing power somewhere as i...

Sorry for this but I have to post a comparison thread to go with the hundreds of others on SCN:redface: Having owned a 2002 LC since new and played with remaps/exhausts/suspensions/filters and all the rest I can say without fear of being challenged that I converted a good car into a great car...
