And then I went to work with the hardpipe kit. Everything looked very promising. A new muffler delete with a bigger diameter But, when I got to connecting it to the intercooler, the hardpipe kit was....smaller in diameter. In other words, everything was sent back hahah

I was unaware that differences exist. If I remember correctly, the Cupra uses 60mm piping on the intercooler side and this was smaller...

Comparison shots

The muffler delete looks way bigger

41mm original

52mm aftermarket

Because I was working on the intercooler piping, I also replaced the second MAP sensor. This MAP sensor is situated in the intercooler pipe from intercooler to throttle body. Space is fairly limited if you replace it while leaving the pipe in place, but its not horrible.

Replaced it with a Bosch unit, made in Germany like the OE MAP sensor

Bought some hubcap stickers in black/chrome with the Seat logo. Unfortunately, I could not find the correct size, so I went with a smaller size which I needed to stick on the MM hubcap perfectly centered. I think I did fine with my eagle eye vision

Looks a little bit cleaner if you ask me

Like that very much and also much prefer the SEAT sign on our motors rather than the Cupra one but that is just my personal preference.

Likewise, the Cupra logo fits the newer models more. I do have it on the flag in my garage, but I prefer the "older" Seat logo on my car as well
