newbie questions on Leon 2.0 tfsi

[Speedy83]

Hi,

like the newbie i am to this car and brand i have i few questions i hope you will be able and willing to answer. My car is a 2.0 tfsi Leon -06 (Rydell edition, does this mean anything really to aftermarket parts?)

1. I serched regarding brakes but i cant find what size they have on disc and i caliper but i guess it's a 1-pot caliper?

2. Does anyone know a good brand of exhaust that has good quality but not extremely high priced?

3. What oil do you mostley use 5-40? and is any better then any else for theese engines?

4. Are some parts from Golf GTI and A/S3 bolt on and a good uppgrade, if so any suggestions to what to look for?

5. Im thinig of uppgrade the engine from 185 hk to about 250, what mods should i do/be good to do in order to supplement the chiptuning?

6. What turbo is it on this?

many questions but as i said i hope anyone can get me on the "track" here

Never heard of Rydell Edition so wont be able to comment on that.

1- your caliper should be 312mm.
2- BCS is good but expensive. you might want to consider Piper, i think you will need 3" diameter if you are hoping for around the 250hp figures. OR just get an exhaust specialist to make you one if he sorts out a good price.
3- 5W40 is what was used for my last service. so when i need to top it up by a litre every now and then i use 5w40.
4- VW GTI (mk5) ED30/R32 and S3 parts are good upgrades. depends what you want from them cars really.
5 - i have seen a GTI 200 go to 250 HP at R-tech from just a stage 1. alternatively, a mate has a GTI and after a cold air induction kit, Decat and a 3" Catback exhaust he achived 260hp at Shark Performance which was regarded as a Stage 2 map i believe.
6 - currently KO3. you can upgrade to KO4 but additional parts will be required (fuel pump, injectors etc = £££).

I don't personally own a 2.tfsi atm but know a fair amount to start the thread off.
