Parts advice

[paul26982]

right here goes, as you know i got a leon cupra 04 plate looking for advice etc on the mods bellow im looking into, want value for money in a way if you no what i mean, any links to them and prices are greatfull

Panel filter - green cotton - are they any good or should i opt for a corbonio etc

Upper/Lower struts - Anti roll bars - are they worth it (recomendations)

Re-map - do i go Jabbasport or APR

A pillar pod, Boost gauge and Oil pressure - thinking of auto meter as the match the cupra dials and lights

4 Bar fuel pressure regualtor - can this be done on the Diesel

are there any other usfull nice things that i might of forgotton

I don't think APR do diesels, so that's one off the list

you don't need a 4 bar FPR
Struts & ARB's well recomended

with regards to the mapping of your car, I would recommend you go some where not too far away, dont forget revo as they do a map for your car, APR you will be able to get a free trial, try b4 u buy as to speak, revo do this also.

front upper strut brace is meant to be a cheap good choice to improve handling.

4 bar FPF, unsure if this will have any benefits unless the map includes this, i.e. revo did a 4 bar software to include this but unsure about this for diesels.

lots of info on here to help you decide.

*edit* as pointed out by the mork, APR dont do diesles

And revo don't do trials on diesels (But will offer 30 day money back)

i bought a carbonio from someone here
then realised how much of a bugger it would be to fit for such a gain in performance

i now run a green panel filter and am more than happy with its performance for the price. id recommend

lower strut brace is a good cheap modification, upper needs drilling
arb's are good, but your starting to cost yourslef money then
couple it with eibach springs etc etc and you've got a nice handling set up
just be careful of lowering with your 18s
its been done

 

[paul26982]

tbh didnt exactly no if i wanted to lower it, sits ok tbh, ill get pics up tomora or somthing,, how much is a green pannel filter, thought if i was just going to get a remap that would be my option, if i had an exhaust then i would get an induction kit

alright know it all (you do know your stuff mork), lol

didnt know that, thought trial was on all cars, why not diesels?

 

[RikH]

cos they're too slow to bother with
hehe

panel filters are around £50 paul

 

[paul26982]

hehe

oh and thats a massive saving from buying an induction kit too, do they last long

 

[chillcupra]

I would go got revo N i just got a autometer boost gauge on the A pillar....looks mint!

 

[paul26982]

dont really want a revo, dont ask why! autometer suits the dials mint!

 

[cupra-c_ya]

dont really want a revo, dont ask why! autometer suits the dials mint!

do revo do the boost gauges? didnt know that, i like the defi gauges but cost lots of £££

 

[paul26982]

is there a site just for guages

 

[RikH]

oh and thats a massive saving from buying an induction kit too, do they last long

yeah
so long as you clean and oil them with the service kit regularly like the air filter would be changed, will last you forever

 

[cupra-c_ya]

is there a site just for guages

how about these gauges, defi ones

http://www.nippon-seiki.co.jp/defishop/product/bf/bf_top.html

 

[paul26982]

really nice black and red would suit the cupraR better tho

 

[cupra-c_ya]

the black and amber/red defi gauge is smart, if I had the money I would get one of these, nice gauges. very stealthy looking 'the dogs'


*edit* just found this, a guy called cupraian has the boost and oil defi gauges fitted, sweet!

 

[paul26982]

just think because the dials are white with red back light, black backgroud guages dont go to good

 

[cupra-c_ya]

do you have the white tacho's in your car then? sorry thought you had the black background tacho's.

I think most of the defi ones have the black background, have you got a pic of the boost gauge you like?
