As i am a tight bugger with my money i have managed to save a good few zero's in my bank account so cash wouldnt be a problem so i am looking to get all of this done.
Just that in scotland i dont know where abouts these garages are or who to speak to I have searched on google but like i have said it doesnt make much scence to me
Sheffield is a bit outta reach for me tho
Cheers
I am a fair bit further north than you- there is nowhere in Scotland that will properly do the biz sadly.

No the Revo dealer i went to hasn't got a RR.....but was confident there would be a big change because i had the Revo on my S3......i'm going to a RR day next Sat so see how it runs but to be fair i'm not really fussed about the numbers because on the road its a weapon such a difference.....get it done u'll not be dissapointed.
http://www.statller.com - call (probably be answered as Autorads - they share premises) and ask for Steve Jnr.
Hi there.
I test drove a FL Cupra with R style exhaust and Revo stage 1. Sounded lovely- midrange was improved through the gears- smoother as well than my standard car. Going to get that done soon. I'd enjoy your standard car for a while mate for what it brings and then you'll enjoy the upgrades more at a later stage. Alwasy feel buying a new car and modding it a lt doesn't make sense. Better off buying a better car from the outset. No?

Marty,
VAGCOM is software run on a laptop and it plugs into your ODB port in the car.
You then do runs in your car in 3rd or 4th gear (2000 revs to redline) and it logs data, depending on what you have set to record.
This helps to determine if you car is running right (for example if you have a map you have not set you levels to aggressive and as a result have timing pull which is bad for the ECU). Various other data can be collected and analysed as well.
Furthermore you can use it to 'customise' some of your car settings. Such as switch on/off 'coming home' lights and many more.
You just need to buy the appropriate cable and software - more details at - http://www.vagcom.co.uk/
Furthermore, if you want customise your map REVO do an SPS (Select Plus Switch) that plugs into the ODB port and you can choose I think 1 of 3 maps. Usually STOCK and 2 custom one. Probably good for track days as you could increase the Boost for example
Back to your original question. There are many companies on here that allow you to order the parts via website (check the sponsors section on this forum).
Popular ones are Monster Motorsport (Nottingham), JKM (Portsmouth), Awesome GTI (Manchester), JBS (Chesterfield) to name a few.
Not familiar with those in Scotland.
However, with the others they would happily hold all items for you on order and fit. I guess Awesome are the closest but still a trek.
Good luck and keep us informed of your progress.
Any other questions just shout

As above really for a easy start list... The FMIC (Intercooler) isn't totally necessary as the Cupra R has the same FMIC as the S3 IIRC and is fine unless you go bonkers with your settings etc..

An Autotech fuel pump at half the price of the APR is an option, and should be more than good enough for REVO stage 2+ imo.
