Hallo

Mijn naam is Benjamin, ik kom uit België en ik rijd in een Seat Ibiza Cupra 6p uit 2016. De auto is voorzien van een Bull X EGO catback uitlaat, een Ramair inlaat, een verwijderde turbodemper en een 90 graden bocht. Ook heb ik een DO88 intercooler gemonteerd. Dit alles zonder tuning. Ik ben van plan om over te stappen op een IS38 hybride.

Dus eerst spaar ik voor de volgende onderdelen, namelijk de verbeterde koppeling met origineel dubbelmassavliegwiel.

Hello My name is Benjamin, I'm from Belgium and I drive a Seat Ibiza Cupra 6p from 2016. The car is equipped with a Bull X EGO catback exhaust, a Ramair intake, a removed turreb and a 90 degree bend. I also mounted a DO88 intercooler. All this without tuning. I am planning to switch to an IS38 hybrid. So first I save for the next parts, namely the improved clutch with original dual mass flywheel.

Hi Guys.... I am Veedub (just part of my initials VW) I have spent most of my life in Japanese cars of one sort or another. In September 25 I opted to try the new Cupra Leon V3. Nice car, just wish I could have afforded a better spec but these cars are so expensive. Hoping to pick up some tips from the site as well as offering to help where I can. Just added some aesthetically pleasing bits like alloygators,a copper coloured Cupra signs to the base of the front doors, wind deflectors and a copper Leon sign on the rear bumper.

So i bought myself e Gravity downpipe for the ibiza Cupra, i went to e local welder e he cut it in 2 pices and now i can attach it with e v band, easyer to replace the downpipe when you need to do it on jacks. Oem cat was out in 1u30min, then ten gravity downpipe was one, was e easy install defently to do on jackstand. I chance the downpipe before on my Audi tt 1.8 20V that was e quattro so this one on the ibiza was e walk in the park.

Now the car makes some noise. I had before the bull x ego catback so its with e valve in the muffler, but with the oem downpipe it was still to quiet. When i go in boost now the car is screaming its the perfect exhaust setup. I also bought some new wheels the are waiting for new tyres. And i bought e second hand is38 turbo i hope to send it to TTE to make e hybride 475hp by the end of the year.

So i thit some maintence on my car, this week i changed the waterpump with e aluminium version from road rage performance and also cleaned the inlet valves again with walnut blasting. My inlet valves where already done around 56000km because the oem waterpump failed then also. So now i putt on e alimium version and i hope it will last much longer. Inlet valves where not that dirty. Car drives fine with no problems. I putt in e amplifier on the oem mib2 radio and installed Apple Car Play and Android auto.

Tomorrow ik going to remove the gearbox and upgrade the clutch with e dkm stage 1 clutch and e new sachs dual mass flyweelh and also the clutch release bearing. When the gearbox is of, i am going to my tuner and ge will put in e qauife lsd in it, with e billet insert for to make it e solid input shaft. Together with some bartek bronse sliders gear shift forks.

Mean willi buyed already e lot of parts because im going stage 3 in January 2027.

Is38 this one will go to the to make it e hybride 475
Hpfp golf 7R
Golf 7R injectoren
Golf 7R vacuümpomp

I just need to buy e lpfp but that will be done around black friday deals.

Im hoping around 400-440hp.
