I figured it’s just an evolution from the first K04 TFSI’s in the late noughties. Had a Cupra for almost 10 years (think a few of the seatcupra.net lads ended up here since 2007) and did it all on that myself, but I can’t be dealing with floor working anymore and it takes me a day to recover from anything strenuous aside from procreation
I’ll probably go down the route of uprating consumables as they need replacing like disks, brake fluid, pads & filters etc
Power increase via a map is tentative but in reality with onset of average speed cameras down the “fun” roads, you can’t enjoy it as much. May do it down the road though.
STronic mapping is on the cars, but this’ll be thread searching / reading etc before I figure out if I pull the trigger
Current plan is this…
Disk / pad replacements
Front Grille airflow dremel
Airbox grille removal
VCDS / Carista tweaks
Some aesthetic engine bay mods like colour silicone hoses and so on. In the previous bay’s it was a sea of black piping and this time round I’d rather like a decent look to it all.
I’ll search around and see, and also check out your 8V diary and other threads for inspiration
I think the 8V is peak petrol motoring now we’ve got GPF’s and whilst the nice electrics are pretty steep, figured I’d run this for a while before I get the orange travelcard in the post
