Cheap performance enhancing mods

[blackturbo]

I know there isnt much which is cheap but im tryna get a few more BHP out of the Cupra, already booked her in for a revo remap and I was thinkin a panel filter as the induction kits get to hot but it there anythin else i can do which is relatively cheap?

Cheers

laguna FMIC take your fancy? will run heaps better with a FMIC

 

[blackturbo]

Sounds like a plan but short of borrowin my dad for a day or so i dont think im technical enough to do it lol

Sounds like a good bet for the dosh tho

 

[flashbsd]

or something like a race cat/exhaust but i have yet to get one to notice the difference

 

[blackturbo]

I was looking at BlueFlame exhausts, (supposedly give 20bhp) but at £500 im thinkin its a waste of cash I could use for petrol lol

 

[JIMYU]

you won't be dissapointed with a blueflame mate. it won't give you 20bhp but you will notice the difference.

 

[PhilW]

TIP and exhaust i reckon.


How much you lookin to spend?

other lightle mods are a power gassget (see bill) try drilling the air box like they do on the mk2 ibizas,

 

[flashbsd]

drilling the airbox is a good mod to do

 

[blackturbo]

Thought bout that but im thinkin if Seat service it they may turn round and say its got holes it needs replacing! lol

To which you'll reply 'so what'

I think the SEAT garage would pass out if they saw my car....which is why it goes nowhere near them

There is loads you can do that is 'reasonable' with price, get a TIP to start with, will make it sound SO sexy

I had a drilled airbox until i got my 'custom' one and it was fantastic, sounds great!

Is your car still under warranty?

Im new so excuse the possible dum question.
What does the TIP do and how does it make the cupra sound better?
I have searched in but cant find what i want to know

Don't drill the box, smooth out the inside, fit a green panel filter then fit a big bore flexi intake pipe instead of the small bore standard inlet. Badger5 sell the intake hose.

RSD tip is the cheapest on the market (if they still make them?)

Full turbo back system exhaust won't be cheap but it'll be worth it, think there's one on ebay at the mo!!

Remember and keep your pork pies peeled for chipped ecu's up for sale on the forums, usually some good deals.

Have you thought about stripping the car out? It works!!

As far as i know and in simple terms the normal 'Intake Pipe' compresses so restricts airflow but the TIP stays open, therefore allowing a more constant airflow, equalling to more power and noise!

Turbo Intake Pipe, has a larger bore allowing better flow top end and quicker spool up plus when coupled with an uprated filter/ exhaust etc will increase the noise of the turbo & Dv.
