Cupra 20v T. Remap

[simonghutton]

Need advice as I'm thinking of getting a remap to up the bhp to 225 from 180.
Angel Tuning quoted me £300 ish. Anyone used them before? They didn't mention any other needs i.e the need of some sort of valve (sorry...I forgot the name of it). I have previously got a quote from a company and they said I would also need said valve...upping the price to £400.
Also...can anyone recommend a wheel refurb company around the leeds area? Mine are not curbed, but some of the paint has flaked off over time and use of Wonder Wheels.

Ta very muchly!

Unlikely that you would get 225 out of a 1.8t 180bhp engine or atleast I've not see it with merely software without further engine alterations/upgrades. If you look at this sites ECU sponsors revo,CustomCode etc they mostly claim 200-215bhp. Have a search, plenty of threads about how pleased customers are about recent remaps.

The Forge 007(£80ish) is typically fitted to Cupras and Cupra Rs as its able to handle the pressure from the turbo that the remap will increase.Its easy to fit but that £100 extra seems resanable for map and install. Incidently the stock Bosch dump valve is prone to failure even without a remap, so its worth doing for relaibilitly.

225-235 is basically stage 2 on a 180 LC

You will need a decent DV, decent open cone or panel filter in a box with a good air feed and an uprated TIP

FMIC is reccomended although you can do without it.

If your going Revo or simular you'll also need a 4bar FPR

Adam, I'm showing my ignorance but you don't ask you stay ignorant, what's an FPR?

my stage one LC with a decent air feed, forge dv and cat back exhaust hit 215bhp on the rollers last month.

To be honest though the numbers are irrelevant. A simple remap alone makes the car far more powerful on the road and will make you grin like a lunatic, for a while.

The upgrade bug will then bite you on the arse and empty your bank account as quick as your fuel tank.

Thanks for the replies

Still undecided what to do

Should I use Angel and not fit any other part and see what happens, or should I upgrade lots of things and prepare myself for bills bigger than Robbie Williams's ego?

The preparation is the key

I'm prepping for stage 2 just now, getting all the parts on, doing my handling mods and then its new tyres then remap
