In brief, 225bhp cupra r lump, Forge Intercooler, 6.5cm thick and as long as we could get it  ;), DTA management system, Forge dual piston DV and a few other bits im probably forgetting.

Should get it in the 280-300bhp category, but i want to keep it reliable as its my daily driver too.

Sounds good to me, I am back to 299bhp I went to 400 and it went bang! I can't be doing with cars breaking all the time so am sticking with that now.

Your end up the same as our mk1 spinning in 5th gear in the dry and 6th in the wet. Are you runnning the 6 speed box?

OUCH! Thats why I am getting a Pug Diesel as my Daily driver ;D

?50 = 530 miles = Big Savings.

I reckon I would give S11EPS arun for his money doing the miles every month (800 miles a week) :o

In the mk1 it is a seat cupra engine like you but I also use the seat 6 speed box, wiring ecu etc..... It all came together, some nice person crashed there car for us to use  ;D Even the head lights run off the seat wiring and what a diffeence they are lovely and bright!
