Over the last 6 months I have been getting a huge amount of work from the Seat cupra owners. In recent years the seatcupra.net website has been very bias and non paid sponsors tend to get there names censored ***** but thanks to facebook the Seat owners can have a bit of r-tech magic...

This car below is one I have been putting off tuning for well over 18month now due to the fact I have never been happy with the cars hardware and condition. Paul the owner has spent ther last 18month getting the car to how I wanted it and ready for his new gen EFR 450bhp turbo in the summer.
Spec LCR BAM 1.8T 20v
k04 Hybrid turbo CR V2 (which works and flows well unlike the CR V1)
Stock Exhaust Manifold
Turbo back exhaust
Uprated rods and pistons
EV14 440cc Green Bosch injectors
FMIC
Badger 5 V1 Tip
Limiting factor was always going to be EGTs due to the stock manifold and collector, these are easy engine to map safe as the ECU runs a live real time EGT probe unlike the AUM, AUQ and AGUs. Tune to higher EGTs find the limit and work under it.
Final numbers 297bhp 288lbft but the power band was amazing, I have never felt a car so strong from 3200rpm upto 7500rpm. The car is fitted with a LDS and still wheel spins and torque steers in 4th gear in the damp.
Due to the fact we could not tuner the car to full power because of the manifold, I spent an hour making this the second LCR in the UK to have tractive launch control, WOT shift, brake and boost, linear throttle map, and thr unique R-Tech rapid lift of mapping and multi cut rpm limiter...


Again how a good MAF is show the same power readings as our dyno, and backed up by the liquid gauge readings.


Jim trying to get the hang of the rapid lift off mapping..
