seat leon 1.4 to 2.3 v5 engine conversion finished :-)

Yes the cupra R/ S3/ TT steering rack fits, but you need to use the tie rods and rod ends from the existing rack so they fit your hubs, also on the TT rack you need to swap the hydraulic pipe over so it still runs along the same side of the rack as before.

I have done this conversion on my cupra and its well worth it, transforms the way the car drives, feels smaller and more lively.

in what way is that rack different to a normal one? different ratio?

Less turns lock to lock

Thanks I think that could be my next mod, how much did it cost you to have yours done, all in. thanks

just the cost of the rack some PAS fluid (the correct VAG type very important!) and half a day of my time.
Is obviously a subframe drop job.
