hi folks just thought id introduce me and my new car, its a cupra r 225 had it a month now and just wondered if anyone on here knew it before s the guy i had it from said it was totally standard but when i got it back and lifted the bonnet the first thing i saw was an awesome gti branded forge recirculating valve and it feels a bit to quick for standard to me. reg is kr05jwz cant put pics up as it says i need to post 15 times first ????
 
I wouldn't worry about the recirc valve, the OE ones are prone to breaking so a metal one is a good investment, most of us have them. Have you driven another LCR to compare it's performance? It's may have has a Stage 1 remap which probably means it has 260+bhp. Again, not a bad thing as the remaps increase the cars performance well withing the limits of the engine components and actually inprove how efficiently it runs with better MPG also.
 
yeah i test drove a 225 i while back but this has pretty viscous acceleration. im waiting for dubbers sports vws to get back to me as i think they supplied it at some point as its got there plates on.
