Queen's Cupra - My build thread

I see

Nassia - any news on the DRLs? BTW I am speaking with the tuner in Cyprus who is getting my KW about exhaust alternatives in the region so I will keep you posted.

Thanks

Hey Charlie. Sorry I was out of town for a couple of days with no internet. I haven't visited the shop yet but I'll go there soon to order my ic so I'll ask them then.
That's great. Could you please ask about the blueflame exhaust? I heard that the company closed so no more exhausts, no more warranties. I wonder if that's true..

Very impressive! That dump sounds amazing, is it the BOV you have or something else that makes it so loud?

 

[queen]

Thanks. No the only thing I've changed is the intake, with a short carbon fiber pipe and a medium to big sized pipercross filter.

 

[NOStradame]

queen can you tell me where did you found this carbon fiber pipe? Have you ever tried another intake?

Γεια σου φίλε.

Today I left my car at my tuners garage. I'm having my intercooler fitted! I didn't go for the new forge intercooler and decided to buy a custom revo one, which is bigger, less expensive, has metallic pipes and holds lower temps. It's quite massive and needs lots of time to fit without cutting anything. Can't wait to see it fitted tomorrow!! I'll post pics as soon as I can!

@NOStradame It is a DTM carbon fiber pipe. I bought it from Cargate-Revo. No I haven't tried anything else but we logged temps and grams of air with some friends of mine and it was pretty much on the top. Φίλη είμαι

Sounds good
Didn't know revo done them

OK so I told you I was gonna get my intercooler installed. I did on Friday, it took about 8 hours. As I said it's bigger than the forge one, less expensive, has metallic pipes and holds lower temps. And it really does; after a night of racing (around 27°C) the exit pipe remained cold! So now performance wise in 1st and 2nd gear it pulls very hard after 5000rpm (it never did before!). Same happens in 140km/h and lasts up to 180km/h.
Here are some pics:

That looks very good. Are the folk that made that one going to make it publicly available? I love the way it looks there behind the grille.

 

[queen]

Thank you. Well it is publicly available in Greece through my tuner. But unfortunately I don't think they can ship to Europe because of the warranty issue.

Καλησπέρα.
It's a custom intercooler made by my tuner (Cargate Γλυφάδας) in collaboration with Hercules intercoolers. Price ranges from 700-900 and mine cost 900 since it was a special order. No problems at all, around 2 car lengths gain in high revs.

I removed one bulb to read the code, so first of all I was wrong they aren't leds, they are just regular bulbs with blue glass. So here you go: Can Bus E13 12V21/5W. I hope it helps!
