Understated at first glance but a really nice Cupra, it came to us for a boost in the form of an APR Stage 1 performance upgrade.
APR Stage 1
Racingline enlarged turbo inlet
Racingline silicone intake hose
K&N sports filter
Factory intake modification
We took the original 221 kW (296 HP) to 276 kW (370 HP) and the original 350 Nm of torque to 519 Nm, using 98 octane petrol.
Besides the performance upgrade we also changed the throttle pedal mapping, and soon the upgrade will be completed with APR software for the DSG gearbox. It is not essential for Stage 1, but we recommend it for better power delivery and overall better gearbox behaviour and life.
If 370 hp from this 2.0 TSI EA888.3 is not enough for you, we can take the car even further with Stage 2 by fitting a sports catalytic converter, or with Stage 3 by replacing the original turbo with the APR DTR6054 for up to 444 hp while keeping the factory emissions and catalytic converter (or OPF).
Treat your car to a quality upgrade from APR.
