turbo upgrade

[jasoncupra03]

is anyone running a t3/t4 seat up on a leon cupra? if so what results/ set up have you got? what is a good turbo upgrade besides the k04 from a cupra r?

Quite a few good threads on here about turbo upgrades - lots of opinions and options.

Try a search for 'Big Turbo' - should give you plenty of bedtime reading!!

here we go again lol.....

two main questions which will allow us to help you a lot better:

1. What sort of power are you looking for?

2. What is your budget?

hi sorry should have really put more info in the original question.was looking for about 300bhp as i fell this will still make the car real world. wasnt too sure on budget but it needs to be done right none of this xs crap thats on ebay so if you take out the extras id say anywhere between 700-1000 for turbo,manifold etc iv allready budgeted for intercooler, downpipe and exhaust, remap and other things this is just about turbo set up

thats better

this is what I have on my car (or will do when the work is done by July), to give you an idea of cost for the full stg3 tuning package and everything that is required:

Forge Recirc Dv - £90 (on car when purchased)
Carbonio CAI - £165 (on car when purchased)
Insulator Gasket - £65 (purchased from badger bill)
Pro Allloy FMIC - £600 (purchased from Pro Alloy)
Blueflame Turbo Back Exhaust - £450 (purchased from Blueflame)
Garrett GT2x - £800
ATP Turbo intake pipe - £150
JBS High Flow Manifold - £500...I think (purchased from JBS Designs)
4bar fpr - £35 (purchased from a guy off here)
225 injectors £110 (purchased from Backdraft motorsport)
Walbro Inline fuel pump - £70 given the exchange rate (from US seller on Ebay)
3" MAF Housing - £30 (purchased from TTS Roadsport)
Spec Stage 3 clutch - £450 (purchased from TTS Roadsport)
Lightened flywheel - £320 (purchased from TTS Roadsport)

Fitting will be about £300-400 and mapping (stg3 custom map) will be about £400 - £600 dependant on the tuner

I am having the Garrett GT2x fitted to mine, which will give around 290bhp

I have had some hybrid treatment on my gt2x, so it should put out around 300bhp hopefully.....

basically - You need £5k

basically - You need £5k

and a pilots licence!


be worthwhile ringing some of the main tuners, jabbasport, custom code, badger 5 etc. see what they offer.

garrett or ihi tend to be the common upgrades.

you`d need better discs and pads imo too.

Yes 4-5k all told but thats with things like intercooler, remap etc i was just asking about turbo and manifold upgrades

4-5k is a full turbo conversion fitted. wont include fmic though.

dave has installed his own big turbo and you may find this thread worth a read if planning on diy
