It’s 100% genuine. The one I’ve got is not lhd or rhd as far as I know. It’s not shaped. Genuine rs ones ain’t cheap btw. -
I’d expect low 8s tbh depending on wind direction 😀 switch draggy to metic in setting. That will give 100-200kph

Upgrading to Rear Vented Brakes

i think you might get stuff from the leon curpa 280 also. I think early cupras used manual hand brakes. -
superchips are a big company. The do alot of r and d. Its not out of the realms of possibilty the fault was there before and its just highlighted it. and as you've said the code reader is really basic. only vcds will help.

Not a sure off the top of my head. There’s loads of them on eBay. Paid around 130 quid for mine. It’s also the alcantara version. -

Don’t think so. You’d need to essentially brake the knob part to get it out. -
No harm in fitting just a cooler, but to get a stage two map, most mappers require a cooler and sport cat/de cat. Otherwise it ain’t really stage 2 realistically peak power doesn’t go up a huge amount but that’s not the whole story. It will flow better across the range and power/torque will be up across it.

It’s the same function as before. that red pin/stick holds it in place. You remove it. Slot the gear knob on, then press the button , which engages it. If you press the button before all that, it messes up and you have to reset it, which is a right pain in the ass. -
then stage two it lol. just a cat and intake away or stick a is38 on it like I did. it is great fun, but then starts the handling and brake mods

well I'm running 405bhp with an open diff. It can be interesting in the wet, but then I've pilot sport cup 2.s on the front. You dont have to drive with your foot flat, its makes you respect the throttle
