Hello everyone,

Recently I bought myself a Seat Leon Cupra 1p (2008). I was wondering what is max HP recommended for the stock intercooler.

Currently it has 324 HP on stage 1+ with modified exhaust, intake, blow off and chip.
Some people are saying that it needs intercooler upgrade for that HP, others are saying that its perfectly fine if the car does not make any problems, which it does not, it runs perfectly and temp is fixed at 90c.
So I wanted to hear your opinions on this topic.

Also what do you think about about fuel and oil consumption.
AVG fuel is 13l/100km, depending on the driving style, it can go up to 17l, 18l or down to 10l, 11l.
On the road at the 110kph it is 9l, at 130kph it goes up to 12.5l - 13l.
For the oil I am using Eneos 5W40 and it is 1l / 1500km - 1800km.

If you're in Greece then maybe an intercooler upgrade is a good idea, considering your climate is much hotter than what we're used to.
