Hi Guys.
As you may know if you have read my last post I have finally got a full-time job and saving up for my MK1 black 1.8T 225BHP Leon Cupra R. Hopefully getting it next year.
I want to put 18" RS4 alloys on it, black diamond front discs with good pads, ( don't know if you have any other brake suggestions on pads and discs), Forge 007 Dump Valve, ITG cone carbon filter, and mostly a ECU changable remap. Why changable? I want changable so when I come to sell the car I can put it back to standard stock BHP and performance and also when I feel like my bank balance is going a bit too much towards petrol I can change it back to stock performance.
I have been looking around and bluechip don't seem to do a changable ECU kits, so I have been looking at REVO Select Plus ECU control. The one up from Select. If anyone has tried this out or has purchased it could you tell me if it's any good and if so could you tell me what your BHP went up to when you plugged it in and installed it? Is it just a matter of buying the control and plugging it into the diagnostic socket or would I have to get REVO ECU performance software onto my ECU first before pluging in the control?
Whilst i'm on here, i'm looking at loads of mk 1 cupra R's for sale. Obviously petrol cars don't last as long as diesel engines so what would be the maximum you would suggest me to look for on the clock? The last thing I want is to spend 7k-8k on a Cupra R and find out it has to have major work and parts replaced.
Look forward to your feedback.
Many thanks.
Chris
