Performance wise, there is a noticable difference IMO but once you go remap and DPF delete on the FR the difference will be huge!
I say choose the FR!

...which costs how much much? A remap is about £500 on its own, then a DPF delete!?
Very informative post.
Can I ask where you might find a remap for an FR only costing £300?
I've done a fair amount of research, for my own FR, the "cheapest" I've found is approx £450 + vat to step up to a mild Stage 1.
I have a service at the dealer quite soon, and I'm very tempted to ask for a demo in a Cupra, just to see what I might be missing out on, compared to my FR (although I know I wont be able to truely put my foot down on a test drive). lol.

That's a mental price for a stage 1 map! I wouldn't be even entertaining that...
For my initial map which needed fine tuned and the DPF off settings I paid £200
Once the DPF off settings were available and the map was fine tuned to sqeeze out a bit more bhp and a hefty amount of torque, a further £100 was handed over and away I went with a big grin on my face!
I often wonder about the Cupra but since my car is still being paid off, I have settled for waiting until I own it outright then selling up and placing a deposit on an S3. Well that is the plan anyway...
So can I ask where you went for your Remap then, the prices almost seem TOO cheap (compared to what Ive been seeing).
...Crazy it may sound, but I am also starting to want a Leon FR/Cupra........ that is NOT Black (as the other colours I think show off the lines better).
Your White FR would suit me just fine!!! You've done a GREAT job, tasteful subtle mods, looks fantastic !
The white is hard to beat, although black is stunning when polished, glazed and waxed!
Thankyou for the link, I've taken a look at their site... promising (as in financially more viable)!
So would they be using their own special ECU programs, or do you think the programs they 'install' might be cloned Revo etc?
Anyone had an Angel Tuning map - feedback greatly appreciated.
In standard form... maybe not. Although in saying that i changed my reference Sport to an FR after barely a month as I started to prefer the more aggresive looks of the FR bumpers and I must say the interior is far nicer, especially the FR bucket style front seats...
